What is It
Contextualized Online Search and Research Skills
Being a vast sea of information is one of the key features of the Internet. it
is such a big repository of data that is believed that one could find out something
about anything on the internet. Developing the necessary knowledge and skills in
online searching, however, is the key to maximizing its use. i
SEARCH ENGINE
A search engine is a software system designed to search the Internet for
documents related to the keyword or search word used or entered into the
system. Users are able to maximize the potential of search engines by
learning the proper searching protocols.ii
TYPES OF SEARCH ENGINES
❑ Crawler-based search engine - It uses a spider or a crawler to search the Internet. The crawler digs
through individual web pages, pulls out keywords, and then adds the pages to the search engine's
database. Google and Yahoo are its examples.
❑ Directories - depend on human editors to create their listings or database. There are two types of
directories: (1) academic and professional directories which are often created and maintained by
subject experts to support the needs of researchers; and (2) commercial and portal directories that
cater to the general public and are competing for Internet traffic.
❑ Hybrid search engine uses both crawler based searches and directory searches to obtain their
results.
❑ Meta search engines - transmit user supplied keywords simultaneously to several individual search
engines to carry out the search. In this type of search engine, duplicates can be eliminated and
clustering by subjects within search is implemented. iii
ONLINE RESEARCH
In the Philippines, copyrights only last a lifetime (of the author) plus 50 years. There are also
provisions for “fair use”.
❑ Have a question in mind- Focus on a question you want answered.
❑ Narrow it down- Search engines like Google, Bing, or Yahoo use several filters to determine
the most appropriate result for you.
❑ Advanced Search- The best way to filter information you get from search
engines is by using the advanced search.
❑ Look for a credible source- Some wikis, filled with updated information,
are not a credible source. When using wikis, check out
the link of the cited texts.
❑ Give credit- Give credit to the original author of the page or information.
To properly site a reference, you may use the format below

Symbol Function
Finds web pages that contain all the terms that are preceded by the + symbol;
+
allows you to include terms that are usually ignored
 ““ Finds the exact words in a phrase
() Finds or excludes web pages that contain a group of words
AND or & Finds web pages that contain all the terms or phrases
NOT or - Excludes web pages that contain a term or phrase
OR or | Finds web pages that contain either of the terms or phrases

What’s More

Activity: Your Turn to Shine

Self-Check 1.1 (Note: Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper)
1. Do you agree or disagree with the provisions of the copyright law? Defend your answer.
2. How would you feel if someone posted something embarrassing about you? What would you
do?
Activity: Self-Check 1.1 (Note: Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper)
• Essay: Why is internet safety important?
• Essay: How misusing social media can create a negative digital foot print?

What I Have Learned

Activity: e-Fill Mo!!! (Note: Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper)
I am a student, I am going to post something online, but first I have to considered things up, like
________________________ it is a focus on a question you want answered. When I am searching I
should ________________________ it means search engines like Google, Bing, or Yahoo use several
filters to determine the most appropriate result for you. There are ___________________________
which is it is the best way to filter information you get from search engines is by using the advanced
search.
For me, to look for an authentic source I should ________________________, some wikis, filled
with updated information, are not a credible source. When using wikis, check out the link of the cited
texts. When I use information, I should ________________________, that should cite the original
author of the page or information.
