Planning

Using a search engine for finding a website full of valid information is not a good idea because search engines usually dig up ALL sites containing the key words searched. Using advanced search with Google specifies what you're looking for with the web address such as .edu, .gov, .com etc. Some of these web addresses are validated and updated on every website in relation to the address. The ones that can be trusted are .edu and .gov.Some .com sites can also be trusted if the source seems to be issued from an informational valid company/organization, one example of this would be http://www.britannica.com/. Advanced search with Google also specifies EXACTLY what the user is looking for in the key words put in (e.g. WW1 only in the titles of the articles). The most useful feature in Advanced search is the type of document a user is looking for. If the user is looking for quick notes or a generalization about a certain topic then he would put in .ppt (Powerpoint) as the document type. If the user is looking for graph charts then a Microsoft Excel format is the way to go. These searches are most useful because the user can look up exactly what he is looking for by filling in the blanks and running the search once.
