1. How to Find the Answer

2. Search Strategies Put your question or problem into words.
If you can, include a relevant noun, adjective and verb in your query.
Are the words you have used keywords or intermediaries?
Did you use any stop (ignored) words or clutter (little effect) words?
Are the words spelled correctly? Some search engines care!
Sometimes putting the important words first helps.
Just minimize your browser in between searches. The searches are already saved so you don’t need to type anything!

3. Don’t Forget The Nyms!
Synonyms – words that mean the same as, e.g. hound is a synonym for dog.
Hypernyms – words with more general meanings e.g. animal is a hypernym for dog.
Hyponyms – words with more specific meanings e.g. Dalmatian is a hyponym for dog.
If a query isn’t working try replacing your keywords or intermediaries with one of the 'nyms. You can use a thesaurus to help you.
