Assignment 9. Search Engines
- What was your search goal?
=> My web site will be about the computer game "Sims", so I wanted to research about some controversial issues that this game brings.
- What tools did you try?
=> At first, I tried search engines such as 'google.com' and 'teoma.com'. Then as a natural language search engine, I tried 'Ask Jeeves' to look forward the information. Also, I searched the information through a subject directorie "LookSmart" and a meta-search engine "Mamma".
- Which key words did you use and why?
=> I put "game Sims brings controversial issues" in the query box of "google.com" as a whole phrase query. And I used "+game +Sims +brings +controversial +issues" on the "teoma.com", "Mamma.com", and "LookSmart.com" because they need Search Engine Math(Fuzzy Boolean). In "Ask Jeeves", I tried the whole phrase "What controversial issues does the game 'Sims' bring?" because it is a natural language search engine.
- Which tools gave the best (most relevant and reliable) information?
=> 'www.google.com' gave the best answer.
