Two ways power searching can help

I recently just finished the Google power searching unit and there are a few things that I learned that can help me. First, I learned that if you hit CTR L+F it brings a search bar up and allows you to search for different words on the page. This would have been great if I had found out a few years ago. This is such a useful tool because it can help out so much when doing research. Now I can search for words on a large website instead of having to scan through it. Second i learned how to search by image. All i have to do is drag the picture from the desktop to the search bar of Google images and it will search the picture for me. Now when need to find where the picture was taken or who took the picture I can just search with the picture. Those are two ways of how power searching with Google helped me.

What I learned about power searching

Hey guys,
           I just finished the first three classes of power searching with Google and I learned a lot. In class one I learned how to filter the images that I search for in Google images by color. Instead of scrolling through Google images looking for the right picture I can search for it by color. I also learned in lesson one how to search for specific words on a web page. This is something I wish I had known about because it would have helped me out so many times. It's as simple as hitting CNTRL-F. A box where you can type pops up and you use that to search the page. Something I learned from class two is what the box on the right is that shows up when you search something. I learned that it is an information box that tells you different things about what you searched. If I searched George Washington the box would be on the right telling me about him and it would have links to websites that are about him. Another thing that I learned in class two is how to preview what will be on a page by clicking on the arrows to the right of the link. Something I learned in class three is how to remove something from what I am searching. I can do this by typing what I want to search followed by an minus (-) then what I don't want Google to search. The last thing I learned is that i can search quotes or exact phrases just by putting what i am searching in quotes. For example, I would type, "the water bottle" like that. Power searching with Google has really helped me in school because thanks to what I am learning in this class I am doing research better in all my other classes. But, I still have another three classes until I finish the power searching with Google unit.
