Better Searching

Richard Dineen of NYC Consulting has over a decade experience consulting and training on technology issues with small businesses and law firms.  He was kind enough to share his thoughts on how to get better search results from Google:

Go to Google (no ads, page loads quicker) and enter a search term in the fill-in. Searching using different phrases will yield different results.

For example:

• malpractice
• medical malpractice
• medical malpractice new york

When search results (called "hits") are displayed examine them before clicking.

Each hit has three parts:

Medical Malpractice - Accidents and Injuries
Find Medical Malpractice - Accidents and Injuries legal information and lawyers at FindLaw.
injury.findlaw.com/medical-malpractice/ - Cached - Similar

A blue underlined phrase - the link itself
Smaller black text - some text from the page the link connects to
A green line of text - the site or source where the page is found, important because it indicates the reliability of the information,

After deciding which hits are from reputable sources, RIGHT click on a link and select Open in a New Tab from the menu that appears. This will allow you to examine the web site and still keep the page of links available: Go back and forth between tabbed pages by clicking on the tab of the page you want to display.
 

Note If a new tab does not display, change your options make it display automatically
