Module 4 - Boolean searching task

I used the "and", "or" searching technique on Copernic however a little box came up saying "You do not have to use Boolean operators as (and, or) since Corpernic Agent automatically manages them"

So I used it on Google.com and found:
· the biggest number of hits relating to these key words
English and College shows 279,000,000 results
English or College shows 280,000,000 results

· information most relevant to what you ACTUALLY wanted to look for!
Use more key words to refine search like city, country etc

· information coming only from university sources
I used the advanced search tool and put "edu" in the "Search within a site or domain" box and search English and College and University
