Information made available through web search engines provides thousands of search results which may not be useful if they are not indexed properly. Search engines crawl the Web and log the words from the web pages they find in their databases.Without a clear search strategy, using a search engine is like wondering aimlessly in the stacks of a library trying to find a particular book. Searches of electronic resources are more effective if you know how to "talk to“. Communicating with these systems requires knowing certain basic search techniques. These techniques are very important for getting good search results. These techniques will vastly improve your search results while searching the Internet.
