Search Strategies Basic.2

This was very interesting week to me because I learnt new things such as Truncation and Wildcard

Truncation is using a wildcard at the end of a root word to search multiple variations of that root word. Example of truncation: teen* will return teen, teens, teenage, teenager, etc.). I understood everything about truncation. A wildcard is a special character, such as an asterisk (*), question mark (?), or pound sign (#)


, that replaces one or more letters in a word , and it represents single character, also is used in the middle of the word. Example:wom?n will return woman, women, and womyn.in addition to that, the lecturer explained about Phrase searching.
It defined as is when you use a string of words (instead of a single word) to search with.also receives few results.this week i was concentrating too much even a photo was taken while i was focusing .
