The question that we were asked to search on google was " How do the democratic and republican positions on the fiscal cliff differ?" We started by capitalizing "AND" and adding quotation marks on fiscal cliff. We got a total of 36,800,000 results. To narrow our choices we changed the time settings to the past month and it lowered our results to 889,000. Then we started adding the minus sign search operation by taking out the things that were not related to the question. When we took out many things we had a total of 92,500 results. The last thing that we did was change the time settings to the past hour and it gave us 3 results. The search operations that worked the best were the quotation marks, caps lock, and the minus sign.
However there were some search operations that did not work well and gave me more results. We added the translate documents and it gave us a bigger number of results. It also depends on the time settings because if you have it on any time then there will be plenty of results. The more you are specific the smaller number of results you will get.
