Google Expert

I learned so many new things about Google and searching for items on the internet. Google is the number one used search engine and made searching easier by making more relevant results show first. Google is known for it's 'I'm feeling lucky button which brings up the first page result in your search, the creators were so confident in their new relevancy searching that they added this button to prove themselves. Some new things I learned were that Page rank was created by a man named Page and it allows the pages with the most links to that page come up first, ultimately bringing up the most popular sources. This however, does make more scholarly sources harder to find, but Google has tools to get around this, refining your search to only show scholarly results is possible. I also learned how to refine your search to only show results from specific types of website .gov and .org for example. Something that surprised me about Google was the ability to change the language to show things like Pirate and Elmer Fudd.
