Brali smo o Krištofu Kolumbu in odkritju Amerike.  Poskusite najti kolikor je mogoče veliko  podatkov o njem in pri tem uporabite:          knjige v knjižnici        CD-ROM Encarta        Internet: Altavista, Excite, Yahoo  S takimi iskalniki lahko najdete marsikaj: samo vtipkate Christopher Columbus in pritisnete gumb SEARCH.  Toda Christopher Columbus je lahko gostilna, ladja, založnik... Toliko stvari je na Internetu! Lahko ugotovite, kako bi iskanje bolj natančno usmerili?  KAKO NAVADNO UPORABLJAMO ISKALNIKE?    povejte, kaj iščete, kolikor je mogoče natančno (pri iskalniku Excite kot bi spraševali osebo:    How to stay healthy by eating well)  tipkajte vse z malimi črkami, z velikim črkami izsilite natančno ujemanje (turkey je lahko  turkey, Turkey, tUrKeY ali TURKEY; Turkey je samo Turkey) fraze uporabite v narekovajih ("american indians")  uporabite *  ("american indian" language* - lahko je jezik ali so jeziki, * stoji za nič ali do pet dodatnih črk) ali znak $ pri Lycosu (gard$ je lahko garden ali gardenias...)  poskusite uporabiti operatorje AND (kayak AND canoe - oba morata biti v dokumentu), OR  ("computer assisted language learning" OR CALL - vsaj eden mora biti v dokumentu), NEAR (Jack NEAR London - oba ne smeta biti v dokumentu med seboj oddaljena več kot deset besed), AND NOT (vegetable AND NOT beans - fižol je izključen) - pri Altavisti le v Advanced Queries včasih lahko uporabimo + namesto AND in - namesto AND NOT

 

We've read about Christopher Columbus discovering America. Try to find as much  information as you can about him using:          library books       CD-ROM Encarta       Internet: Altavista, Excite, Yahoo It's easy to find something with these search engines: you just   type Christopher Columbus and click the SEARCH button. But Christopher Columbus can be a pub, a ship, a  publisher... There are so many things on the Web. Can you think of refining your search?   HOW DO WE USUALLY USE SEARCH ENGINES?     tell what you're looking for as precisely as you can (with Excite just as you might ask a  person: How to  stay healthy by eating well) type it all in lower case, with capital letters you force an exact match (turkey can be turkey, Turkey, tUrKeY or TURKEY; Turkey is only Turkey) enclose phrases in double quotes ("american indians") use the *-notation ("american indian" language* - can be language or languages, * stands for nothing or up to five additional letters) and a dollar sign $ with Lycos (gard$ can be garden, gardenias...) try the operators AND (kayak AND canoe - both must be present in the resulting document), OR ("computer assisted language learning" OR CALL - at least one must be present in the document), NEAR (Jack NEAR London - both must be within ten words of each other in the document), AND NOT (vegetable AND NOT beans - beans are excluded) - Altavista: only Advanced Queries sometimes + can be used instead of AND and - instead of AND NOT
