Four NETS for Better Searching

I will admit that I have seen the little link of advanced searches on the Google search page but have never tried it out. After reading the NETS website I have realized what a powerful tool the advance search is to have on hand and know how to use. As I was reading the information I was thinking back to all of the assignments and papers that I would have been able to save a lot of time doing research if I would have know how to be a better internet searcher and use Google's advanced search link.

I now feel like a more informed/better internet searcher after reading the NETS tutorial. It helped to have specific examples to search for and compare the difference when using the NETS information. I have done many searches on the internet that are so broad that it ends up taking quite a while to find the kind of information I am looking for. This new information will help me to search for more specifics of a subject instead of having to sift through many slightly related subjects. I feel like this information will help me greatly in the future when ever I am doing any kind of search on the internet. I will be able to find more accurate websites faster and easier.
