Internet Hint 4

Internet Solution 4

Problem: different names for the subject -- you want all in one search

Suggested solution: Do one search with each word listed in the advanced search
box indicating any one of the words would be acceptable.

Another way to do this: list each word with OR between them.

What to do:

Note: Example is from GOOGLE.
Other search engines have similar features to modify searches.

Go to the Advanced Search feature

Look at the top section Find results

In the box with all of the words type search term

In the box with at least one type alternative words

(Note: You could also use solution 6 to do the same thing.)

Originally 3 different searches: car safety and automobile safety and auto safety

The problem is that this is too many searches to do.

Revised search: with the word safety and with any one of the words
car OR automobile OR auto

GOOGLE Advanced Search

New search results, with the 3 alternative terms included in one search:
