Chris Nolan's Presentation

From his presentation I learned alot of new and informative information. At first I figured that there wasn't alot to searching the web and that the searches and variety we very similar. But I was wrong. One thing I thought that was really cool is the advanced search feature ongoogle. It is awesome how you can use it to limit the search to avoid commercial sites and can specify your search to .edu, .gov., etc. based on the type of results your looking for. I didn't realize this feature and google scholar as well that make google such a diverse and more complex site than I thought based of the simple design. The information I learned about google as well as various other search engines and databases really put in perspective the power of the internet and how diverse it really can be.
