Outline for the day


What’s changing?

• Bing-Yahoo deal– Yahoo to use Bing’s search engine

– Some country versions already using Bing web search, the rest will follow during the year

– Yahoo will “still be innovating on top of the Bing results”

• Lots of stuff happening with Google

• Google caffeine

• Personalisation

• Social media– Bing, Yahoo and Google all including social media in their

results, for example Twitter, blogs, Facebook, Myspace, discussion forums

• Interfaces continually changing

11/04/23 4www.rba.co.uk

What’s changing?

“Traditional” search

• centralised databases of web pages, images, video etc

• massive amount of data

• “old” information, out of date

“Real time” search

• live, real-time searching of tweets, videos, blog postings etc

• limited to “current” data & selected networks

• up to the minute but skewed view of a topic


Why social media?

• It is where many companies and organisations market themselves, provide customer support and distribute information

• It is where an increasing proportion of the population grow up & they don’t differentiate between the different means of communication

• It is where an increasing number of people feel comfortable and share information

• It’s impossible to ‘gag’ social networks

– BBC NEWS | Politics | When is a secret not a secret?

– http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8304908.stm

For serious research, social media and professional networks are not optional extras - they are an essential part

of your research strategy

11 April 2023 Karen Blakeman www.rba.co.uk 6

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8304908.stm

How do people search?

• Publican hiring bar staff uses Facebook to pre-screen candidates

• Student used YouTube to find information on the life cycle of the Duck Billed Platypus for an essay

• Business students assignment on advertising history of Cadbury’s Crème Egg and Dairy Milk – Youtube!

• Newsletter editor looking for images of autumn leaves, specific colours required (Chromatik)

• Twitter and blogs used as an essential part of reputation monitoring

• What’s happening at conferences e.g. Online Information 2009 #online09 - Twitter, Slideshare


Unrealistic expectations

• Original TV coverage of the storming of the Bastille

• Podcast of Abraham Lincoln delivering the Gettysburg

address

– not an actor but THE Abraham Lincoln

• Photo of the baby Jesus with Joseph and Mary (9 year old

asked “Didn’t any of the shepherds or the wise men have

mobiles?”)


Google first page results


Results from Google News & blogs

Latest results - rolling feed of headlines from Twitter, blogs, discussions

Google first page results


Images

Wikipedia article

Blog posting listing videos

YouTube video

Results from my “social circle”: Twitter, RSS feeds, FriendFeed, Google Wave contacts etc.

Yahoo!• http://www.yahoo.co.uk/, http://search.yahoo.co.uk/

• Layout and results vary depending on the country version

• Options in the left side menu for limiting your search – depend on the type of search and the country version you are using

• Social media real-time results at the top if it is a “hot topic”


http://www.yahoo.com/

http://search.yahoo.com/


Currently only available in the US version of Bing

Is it an improvement?

• Results seem more confused and messy, especially Google

• Not always clear how social media results are selected

• Available options sometimes vary depending on country version of the search engine

• Social media results not comprehensive

• Results pages are giving a very selective and superficial overview

• Need to target search more precisely

– for example use Google Advanced Search and options in the left hand menu

– search specifically for news, videos, photos

– search social media separately

– need to know about specialised search engines (a bit like the good old bad old days of the first online databases!)

Let’s get the essential commands

out of the way


General search techniques

• By default, the main search tools look for all of your terms in a page

• Use double quote marks around phrases or names

• To exclude pages containing a term, precede the term with a minus sign (-) but use with care

• Focus your search in areas of the page- use advanced search screens or commands

- inurl: for example UK inurl:carbonemissions

• looks for your terms/phrase in the URL

- intitle: or allintitle: for example UK intitle:"carbon emissions"

• looks for your terms/phrase in the title of the page


General search techniques

• Search sites or domains using the advanced search screen or site: command– wind turbine energy generation site:statistics.gov.uk

– wind turbine energy generation site:gov.uk

• Imagine what you would like to appear in your ideal document and include those terms in your strategy- renewable energy generation UK wind solar wave hydro

• Repeat your key search terms in your search strategy– tar sands EROEI– tar sands EROEI EROEI EROEI

• Change the order of your terms– biodiesel fuel UK buses efficiency – biodiesel fuel efficiency UK buses


File format search

• Use advanced search options to limit your search to file

types or format:

– pdf or doc for government or industry/market reports

– xls for data and statistics

– ppt or pdf for presentations, experts on a topic

• Use Google and Yahoo Advanced Search

• Bing.com sometimes picks up unique content

– use command filetype: in your search strategy e.g.

filetype:ppt car ownership UK


Presentations

• For :

– find experts on a topic

– what are companies doing

– introduction to a topic or a general overview

Searching Twitter and tweets

• To use Twitter’s Find People you need to be signed in to Twitter

• Alternatively search for people or organisations using Tweepz (http://www.tweepz.com/)

• Searching public tweets

– http://search.twitter.com/, http://www.twazzup.com/

• Backtweets.com – enter the URL of a web site or page to see who has referred to it in a tweet

• Phil Bradley's weblog: Twitter Search - 20 alternative search engines

– http://philbradley.typepad.com/phil_bradleys_weblog/2009/03/twitter-search-20-alternative-search-engines.html


Twitter: search.twitter.com and twazzup.com


http://search.twitter.com/ – advanced search


Often doesn’t work!!

Twitter fail whale


Who is referring to you on Twitter?http://www.backtweets.com/


Facebook

• Often used to pre-screen applicants for a job, so be careful what you put on your page!

• Track down individuals – Australian case– Lawyer uses Facebook to serve legal documents - ABC News

(Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

– http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/12/15/2447037.htm

• Look for groups or pages for an organisation (are they genuine?)

• Some professional groups

• Pages now used extensively to market organisations and services and for market research

• Reputation monitoring and management


LinkedIn.com

• Check up on individuals, companies, groups


Cluuz

• http://www.cluuz.com/

• “Cluuz … core technology understands the relationship between the entities, terms, or persons searched leading to more relevant, easy to understand search results”

• Network visualisation - easier to see connections between individuals and organisations than reading the text of a 10-20 web pages

• Results may change from one day to the next, one hour to the next

People networks & Search Tools

• Beware mash-ups– a website or application that combines content from more

than one source to generate a new page or resource

– usually automated with minimal human input or control

– For example:

• Zoominfo

• http://www.zoominfo.com/

• uses multiple web sources to generate profiles of people and networks

• subject of a profile can update or correct their profile but no checking done by Zoominfo


123People.com

• Searches

– image sections of major search engines

– Flickr

– Facebook

– MySpace

– LinkedIn

– blogs

– web

– videos

– news


The People Search Engine – Whoozy.com


Pipl http://www.pipl.com/

“Pipl's query-engine helps you find deep web pages that cannot be found on regular search engines.

Pipl is designed to retrieve information from the deep web, our robots are set to interact with searchable databases and extract facts, contact details and other relevant information from personal profiles, member directories, scientific publications, court records and numerous other deep-web sources.”


Search tools for social media• Excellent presentation from Phil Bradley covers the best

– http://www.slideshare.net/Philbradley/social-media-search-engines – “20 search engines that each add something into social media

search, and they’re all worth exploring in some detail”

• My two personal favourites from his list– http://www.icerocket.com/– http://www.addictomatic.com/


Netvibes.com• New dashboard feature (must be signed in to your Netvibes account)

– type in your keywords and Netvibes automatically searches across news, social media, videos etc.

– looks in places you might not think of


Design your own search engine

• For

– regularly searched sites

– selected sites on a topic

– searching sites on a reading list

• Google Custom Search Engines

– http://www.google.com/cse/

– at least hundreds of sites, maybe thousands!

– can import lists of sites

• Need a Google account to set one up

• Cannot search password protected sources or sites where you have to fill in a form to access the information


Create your own Google CSE


Host it on Google

• Keep it private or make it public

• URLs are horribly long but you can create a TinyURL, Bit.ly URL etc. to make it easier for your users


Disappearing pages

Search engine cache copies– Google, Yahoo, Bing

Firefox users– install the Resurrect Pages add-on
