Refining your Internet Search
Your Internet search is as good as your conceptual framework. You need to think outside the box if you want to do decent google searches.
Example: I was given some squash by a local farmer. I like squash, but I don't really know much about the different types. I know the acorn, butternut, zucchini and pumpkin types - but not the one on my kitchen table. No problem, I turn to google, and type the word 'squash'. The results I got did not reflect the kind of squash I was interested in. Hmmm. Oh yes, squash IS a sport isn't it?
How very interesting. Better results from squash vegetable, which reveal to me that I am in possession of an "autumn cup" squash.
A good lesson when doing Internet searches - think outside the little black box in my head. You often need to be creative when doing internet searches, thinking about other key words or ideas that may bring up the information that you want.
