The
links on this site have been organised into Yeargroups. For example, the
Norman Conquest can be found in Year 7 links, as this is when most departments
study it. As history departments don't all study topics in the same
order, some of the Year 8 and Year 9 links have been duplicated. |

Tools Despite
there being differences between each search engine, there are tools that
many search engines have in common:
 |
Quotation
marks |
|
|
-
enclosing a phrase in quotation marks tells the search engine to
list only sites that contain those words in that exact order. |
|
Plus
and minus signs |
|
|
- Adding
a plus (+) sign in front of a word indicates that the word
must appear in the search results. Adding a minus (-)
sign in front of a word indicates that the word must not appear in
the results. |
|
Boolean
operators |
|
|
- These
work in very similar ways to plus and minus signs, they must be in
capitals to work properly. |
|
AND
- indicates that words linked by the AND must appear in
results. For example to find history and geography type:
History AND Geography. |
|
OR
- indicates that results must include at least one of the words
joined by the OR. For example, to find history or
geography type:
History OR Geography. |
|
AND
NOT - indicates that results must not contain the word that
follows the AND NOT. For example, to find history but
without the word Norman type:
History AND NOT Norman. |
|
Parentheses
- used to group words for more complicated queries. For
example to find history with either the word Norman or the word
Saxon type:
History AND (Norman OR Saxon). |
