"Using Google"

Topic#1 World War I
I used google advanced research to find information on World War I. At first when googled World War I, I got 543,000,000 websites. However when I went to advanced search and typed in with the exact words I typed in "World War I" and got 2,500,000 website. Then I went back to advanced search and added to at least one of the words and typed in "new weapons" and got 2,280,000 websites. Next I went back to advanced research I added to without the word "guns" and as a result got 2,23o,ooo websites.


Topic#2 Martin Luther King
I also used google advanced research to find information on Martin Luther King. First I googled Martin Luther King and got 5,760,000 websites. Then I went to advanced research and next to the words with the exacted words I typed in "Civil Rights" and got 1,770,000 websites. After that I went back to advanced research and next to the words with at least one word, I typed in "segregation" and got down to 548,000 websites. Finally, I went back to advanced research and next to the words without the words I typed in "Rosa Parks" and got a total of 326,000 websites.
