Interpreting the Results
When Not to Use Google
• Google doesn't cluster results
• Google isn’t good enough to find a person's email
address
• Google isn't the best place to find what an abbreviation
stands for
• Some topic-specific directories are simply more fine-
tuned than Google's regular full-text search
• When working on an in-depth research project (like a
college thesis), Google doesn't help you catalog multiple
search results, or let you take notes on interesting sites.
