WEEK 6

In this week also we learnt about search strategies Truncation,Wildcards and Phrase Searching.  

Truncation is a broadens searches which is provide us with further flexibility in searching. Its allows the computer to search for multiple forms of word and we use truncation symbol at the end of the stalk for example: music*- musical, musician, musicians, musicality, music's.

Wildcard allows us to increase the broadness of a search by using the symbols question mark (?)  and asterisk(*) to replace particular letters or order of letters.Questions mark we can use to replace a single character for example educat?? will return results for both educator and educated, and asterisk we can use to represent different character for example wh* finds what, white, and why.

 Phrase searching allows us in a database to search for particular words in a particular order  and we use quotation marks to search separate phrase it is the easiest and quickest technique.
