Oct 4 Blog

1. I tried to answer the question "What is the current prime interest rate?"
2. I used the search engine "Yahoo."
3. The exact wording I used was "current prime interest rate."
4. The search was successful due to the fact that the answer to my question could be found in the first few results.
5. I could try different wording for my search if i didn't get the results i wanted.
6. Some other questions i had were how comparable the search results would be entering the same thing into different search engines.

You seem to be comfortable navigating simple searches, which is good. I particularly like your comment about comparing results from different search engines. It's one point we'll cover in class tomorrow.
