The Three-Step Google Search
- Step #1: Enter your search terms.
- Notice that Google, like the MLA International Bibliography, suggests ways to modify your search.
- Search term tip:
- Putting quotation marks " " around the title of your film will keep the title together as a phrase.
- This is not that much of a concern with "Jane Eyre" but it could be if the terms in a film's title might be misconstrued:
- For example:
- Daughter of Shanghai
- Without the quotation marks, Google might search for "daughter" or "Shanghai" separately
- Step #2: Look at the search results.
- Step #3: Revise the search
- My initial results were too general.
- I modified the search by adding "criticism" to my original terms.
- The results were much improved!
