Thinking About Your Search Topic

You might like this tool:

 

Lack of search success seems to go wrong in two opposite directions --- many results but not focused on the topic or not many at all.

Consider:

  • Using synonyms
  • Using broader terms
  • Narrowing the search with appropriate other terms
  • That the defaults of the search interface may not be as you expect; words may be searched as a phrase
  • Looking at the indexing terms of search results that are good matches
  • Using limits
