Effective Searching
AND
hiring
OR OR
OR
Phrase searching “double quotation marks” for exact phrases
Combines DISTINCT terms; Fewer results Makes search focused & specific
Combines SIMILAR terms; greater results Makes search broader
Truncation manag* = manager, managing, management etc.
“human resources” selection innovation recruit*
Effective Searching General Motors OR strategy AND (recruitment OR hiring OR layoffs)
Find the mistakes!
Effective Searching
1. General Motors: put in double quotations 2. OR: use AND since you’re connecting distinct
keywords 3. OR layoffs: layoffs isn’t a synonym. Try
using a different synonym like ‘selection’
General Motors OR strategy AND (recruitment OR hiring OR layoffs)
