prac 4 & 5.

practical 4 and 5 taught me the different search facilities there are, i didnt know most of them existed such as meta search engines and subject directories. i also learnt how these search facilities worked.

i was given an activity to do, to use word variations to increase the chances of me getting better results back from using search facilities. it was very helpful.

i also did an experiment to see how different the search results were between the 3 different search facilities, and i learnt that search engines are the best tools to research on the internet... maybe there are exceptions.
