. Search this blog (or any blog) by using K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Shorty) . Let's keep searches for Michael Jordan simple, here or in any search engine.
KEY CONCEPT: . SPECIFICS will narrow the search and return fewer results, mainly those results your specifics have identified. . Conversely, a more generalized search will return far more results, making it necessary to browse for your specific answers within the larger results pool. . SEARCH FOR MIKE USING K.I.S.S. . In a blank search field, you can enter jordan . and get results on Mike, Eddie, the country, the singer, movie titles, etc. . You want to be more specific, so you type in: "michael jordan" . Voila! Your results, and lots of them, including your cousin, the butcher down the street, etc. . Using K.I.S.S., you add specifics. "michael jordan" basketball . Now you have fewer results but you want to know more about his work in baseball too! . "michael jordan" basketball OR baseball . Notice the capitalized "OR", a Google command which must be capitalized like all other Google commands in search mode. . "OR", in this sample, tells Google to find pages referring to Michael Jordan and then accept those pages that also refer to basketball OR baseball OR both! . Fancy words for your friends: BOOLEAN LOGIC - relax, they are fancy words math gurus use to explain the simplest search logic! . Now you want to see funny quotes by Jordan AND Scottie Pippin. . quotes "michael jordan" AND "scottie pippin" . Notice only Google commands need to be capitalized in a search - I will omit exceptions to avoid confusion. . "AND" tells Google to accept only pages that refer to quotes by or about both Jordan AND Pippin. . BOOLEAN LOGIC! Ready for M.I.T. now? . Also notice "funny" is omitted - what's "funny" to a search engine? Nothing, unless the word "funny" is found during its search! :) . Ready for the hard stuff? Well, here it is! . quotes "chicago bulls" -pippin . Tres simple, n'est pas? You want to see funny quotes by the Bulls players with no references to Scottie this time - the minus sign immediately before his last name excludes Scottie from results of funny quotes by Bulls players! . (Yo, Scottie, I used your name because, like Mike, everybody knows who you are!) . Good news! Most searches are that simple. As a beginner, use those for success, then try more complicated ones, though you'll rarely need them. . Bad news! I forgot to tell you the course is no longer free and you'll be getting your bill next week - we know where you live!!! . ===================
