Module 4 - Boolean searching task

Taking the same key words "advanced internet users" as in the previous task:

1. the biggest number of hits relating to these key words would be accomplished by searching for 'advanced AND internet AND users' in Google, rather than one phrase, it gives me 110,000,000 search results!. An even larger hit list(2,640,000,000) can be created by typing 'advanced OR internet OR users' (not necessarily useful though).

2. sources relating to skills-based information on these key words could be searched as: +"advanced skills" +"internet users" which brings up 11,200 results. I could also search "advanced internet users" with a filter only to retrieve .org sites perhaps, which seems to bring up some useful sites(364 results) relating to skills in advanced internet usage.

3. If I would like information coming only from American university sources I would type in "advanced internet users" site:.edu (same as searching with a filter only allowing these sites to filter through). My search results are 278 for this search. If I only wanted results from Australian university sources, I'd type +advanced +internet +users site:.edu.au, key words not in quotes to give me a bit more choices.
