Find Function
Often times you may wonder where your search words are located in a particular web page (found by a search engine). Your browser can help you find them. To access the Find Function in Internet Explorer, pull-down the "Edit" menu and select "Find." Most other browsers work similarly.

Advanced Features
Some search engines offer advanced features such as phrase searching, limiting, and Boolean searching in pull-down boxes.

More Reliable Sites
Use words like "policy" or "research" in your search to find sites that are more reliable.

Position Papers
Use words like "controversy," "debate," or "issue" to find sites that cover both sides of an issue.
