Search Results

For the final part of this tutorial, I will show search results modified by Basic, Search Options, and Advanced Search. The function of this set of images is to show how varied the results can become when using different settings to search for topics of interest. Good luck as you attempt your own searches and look up information. The topic for these search examples is Nuclear Power Plant Accidents.

The above search was conducted using the Basic Search with no form of modification. The results are more general and not quite what I was looking for. A cursory glance reveals that it is in the same vein as what I am searching for, but it personally does not meet my standards as far as sources of information go.

This next search was used by looking for periodicals on the Search Options menu. It narrows the search a bit more. Now I have periodicals that are focuses on Nuclear Power Plant Accidents. This is a good start since it allows me to look for full text of various magazines. While it may not be the most scientific information, it helps illustrate points about what I am researching.

This final search was conducted using Nuclear AND Power AND Accidents. It was applied to Academic Journals and the results are very much what I would be searching for as sources of information. These journal entries, with a bit of digging, will allow for better established and more scientific data to be gathered and used at my discretion.

That ends the examples, they were meant to be basic and simply show how the results can vary from search option to option. You are encouraged to experiment and find the right combination of options, operators, and phrases to maximize your searching potential. Following this page is a simply list of links I think you may find able to assist you further.
