SEARCH STRATEGIES CAPSTONE
GENERAL HINTS

Thanks to Hemingway library for permission to modify their
PowerPoint.
STEP 1 – BRAINSTORM TOPIC
• Example: Teen pregnancy –
• (hint- choose a topic that you care
about…otherwise it will get tedious)
• You might want to do some
preliminary research – use general
resources tab
STEP 2- BRAINSTORM MORE QUESTIONS
• What questions do you need to answer to figure out
the answer to your “main” question? You will use
the answers to these questions to help you answer
your “main” question.
• This is not a one time shot – as you research more
questions may come up.
STEP 3: BRAINSTORM KEYWORDS
• Never, EVER, search by typing in a question. The
sources you will find will be TERRIBLE for the most
part.
• Make a list of keywords with synonyms to search.
For example, “teen pregnancy”, “adolescent
pregnancy”, “teenage pregnancy”.
STEP 4 GENERAL RESEARCH
• Use the general resources tab and google to build
background material and start taking notes on
sources.
• Use advanced search techniques to find the best
sources. Remember the CRAP test before deciding
to use a source. If you CANNOT find the sponsor of
a website, you CANNOT use it.
• Take notes WITH the source as you go along!!!! ONE
OF THE MOST COMMON MISTAKES IS NOT KEEPING
UP WITH YOUR SOURCES.
• 3 tools – evernote, google docs, or easybib
SEARCH TECHNIQUES
Search techniques are the methods you use to
search catalogs, article databases, and web
search engines to find information.
This lesson will cover some more advanced search
techniques which can help you refine your
searches.
ADVANCED SEARCH TECHNIQUES FOR
WEB SEARCHING
Using advanced search techniques when
searching the web is even more important
because you are sifting through so much
information.
Some of the techniques used for searching the
web versus library catalogs and article
databases are different.
WEB SEARCHING ADVANCED
SEARCH TECHNIQUES







Use quotation marks to search for phrases
Use the minus (-) symbol in front of a word to exclude it
Use the advanced search screen to help refine your search
Be very specific
Search in appropriate domains (.com, .edu, .gov)
Use ctr-F for results within a website
HINT 1: QUOTATION MARKS
Quotation marks are used around phrases. By using quotations
marks, you are telling the computer to only bring back pages
with the terms you typed in the exact order you typed them.
Example:
“health care reform”

instead of
health AND care AND reform
For example, if you are interested in finding
information on social networking, it is best to
search for “social networking” in quotation
marks. Otherwise, the computer might
search for social AND networking and find
many more irrelevant results.
HINT 2: MINUS SYMBOL (-)
Sometimes when searching the web, the
computer displays lots of results that are not
on your topic.

For example, you want to find information
on laser surgery, but most of the search
results are pulling up LASIK. To remove these
hits, search for: “laser surgery” -LASIK
HINT 3: ADVANCED SEARCH SCREEN

Like article databases, most search engines have

an advanced search screen. This screen offers
many options to help you refine your search.
GOOGLE’S ADVANCED SEARCH
SCREEN
FAVORITE ADV. SEARCH SCREEN
SHORTCUTS
• Filetype:ppt (or doc) for what you are looking for
• Site:reddit.com for finding results for a specific
website or domain such as .edu (hint: most .gov
and .edu sources are very reliable)
• There are others: check out the “Get your Ph.D. in
googling” slideshow
TO LIMIT YOUR SEARCH TO A SPECIFIC
DOMAIN TYPE
• Add site:domain to your search.

• Or use the advanced search option and type in the
domain.
DOMAIN SEARCHING
Finally, when searching the web, it is often helpful
to limit your results to a specific domain.
The domain of a web site indicates the type of
organization or geographic region from which the
site originates. Helpful domain limiters include:
•
•
•
•
•

.edu-education
.gov-government,
.mil-U.S. military,
.org-organization
.com-commercial
HINT 4: BE VERY SPECIFIC
Library catalogs and article databases have a
limited amount of information. The web is virtually
limitless. To pull up the most relevant information
when searching the web, you need to use lots of
terms related to your research question.
For example, if you search for “tattoo removal” you find
over 1,350,000 hits.

If you search for “tattoo removal” “blue ink,” you only
find 723.

Notice here, that both concepts are being searched as
phrases.
HINT 5: CTR-F IS YOUR FRIEND
• Hitting ctr-f will allow you to search for a term (or
several) WITHIN a website! It saves you TIME and is
one of my top hints!
SUMMING UP
Using advanced search techniques when searching
library catalogs, article databases, and web search
engines will help refine your search. They will help
limit the number of search results, and the results
found should be more relevant for your research
question.
