Can you always find what you want to find on the Internet? These easy-to-remember ways will help you to become a safe and smart searcher!

Several keywords will help to find better results. Use more than one keyword when you are doing a search. If you want to find out about seagulls, for example, search for bird seagull and not just seagull because seagull might also be the name of just about anything else, from a hotel to a documentary film.

Exact information can help you find what you are looking for. If you are looking for an exact sentence, e.g. “seagulls are very clever”, type (打字) it between inverted commas (“”), and only exact matches will be shown. This is very useful when you want to find something that you’ve already seen but lost.

Avoid common words like “a” or “the” in a search. These aren’t always helpful and usually unnecessary.

Add a minus symbol (—) if you don’t want some of the results. For example, “seagull-hotel-film” will leave out all information of hotels and films in the result.

Check out your spelling. Make sure that you spell every word in the search box correctly. The smallest typing mistakes can bring unwanted results, especially when the mis-typed word appears.

Have a filter(过滤软件). It’s a good idea to filter your online searches, especially when you are searching pictures. Ask an adult to help you add a filter. There are many kinds of them available.

Try different search engines(搜索引擎) until you find the one that’s best for you. Some search engines personalize(个性化) the results. So if you want to get different results, you’d better check out the search engines which don’t do this.
