search engines

Throughout my researching I have come across many articles that aren't relevant to my topic at all. I have learned to not only read the title of the article but to also click into the link and to read partial of the actual article. Some of the hits that the computer picks up are ridiculous. One or two words can pick up over 1200 hits alone. By looking through and actually reading or even skimming the article can lead to much more appropriate and even useful information. Most of the hits that the computer picks up are not what you are looking for and there are better hits out there that are more useful. By narrowing your search down for example by looking under a psychology or social search engine will also be very healpful.
