The four golden rules of internet searches
Als Sekretärin oder Assistentin recherchieren Sie auch Informationen im Internet. Wahrscheinlich nutzen Sie www.google.de. So kommen Sie mit Google schneller ans Ziel.
Use these four tips to make Google work for you.
1 If you are looking for more than one word or phrase
Just type them in. Google will automatically find all documents with the information you are looking for .
2 If you are looking for a whole or part of a sentence
Put the words or sentences in quotation marks – “business English for secretaries” or “Secretary Today”. Google will look for documents with exactly this phrase.
3 You want to omit words
To omit a word, put a minus sign (–) or ‘NOT’ in front of it. For example ‘handy-mobil’ or ‘handy NOT mobil’.
4 You are looking for a word with American and British spelling
Put ‘OR’ between the words. For example: ‘Globalisation OR Globalization’.
5 Choose your language
Choose the language you want your results to be in by clicking the appropriate field below the search box. Further, you can choose to select German language pages by clicking on ‘Nur Seiten auf Deutsch’ beneath the search box.
