How to search in easier way and more specific?

     As the blog post title, "How to search in easier way and more specific?" To search more specific, there are a few ways to do that. Beside choosing the suitable search engine, you are encouraged to use the search logic or customize the search options during the searching. For example, use the proper Boolean operators such as:-
i. ) AND (&&)
ii.) OR ( || )
iii.) "   "
iv.) NOT 


     Using the specific search engine. If you are looking for the audio files, you may use FindSounds.com or Free-Loops.com. Unlike some of the internet users, they just too depend on google.com. There are also specialty searches to search RSS feeds, podcast, library materials and so on. If you are getting to know more detail of "How to Choose a Search Tools", you may visit this link.

     In the other hand, to get the specific results, users may try the Human-assisted search engine. This type of search engine running the Q&A system. Once they understand what users are looking for, then they will find the specific results and send it back to the search results. Chacha.com is an example of Human-assisted search engine. Scour.com is also a Human-assisted search engine, but it need users to pay per-click. It mean users are needed to pay for the searching fees.



     Try this specific search engine, zanran.com/q/. They help to search the data & statistics such as graphs, charts and tables. It enable users to customize four of the search options. 

       Again, I am glad to share this information to all my blog readers. So, are you going to try chacha.com, scour.com, and zanran.com/q/ ?
