20) Which of the following is not a way to limit an internet, database, or card catalog search?
a) Using a plus sign (+) when searching
b) Using all CAPITAL LETTERS when searching
c) Using “quotation marks” when searching
d) Using a minus (-) sign when searching
I'll be happy to check your answer.
I believe the answers is C
You use + and - to specifically include or exclude particular words from your searches.
You use "..." to keep a group of words together in that particular order during a search.
Whether you type in all caps or all lower case makes no difference at all.
Sorry, I was think what would limit, thank you
You're welcome. =)
To determine which of the options is not a way to limit an internet, database, or card catalog search, we need to understand how each option works. Let's break down each option:
a) Using a plus sign (+) when searching: This is known as the Boolean operator "AND." By using a plus sign before a keyword in the search query, you can specify that all of the specified words must be present in the search results.
b) Using all CAPITAL LETTERS when searching: Capitalizing the letters in a search query does not have any specific effect on limiting the search. It is simply a stylistic choice and does not act as a search modifier.
c) Using "quotation marks" when searching: Quotation marks are used to specify an exact phrase search. By enclosing a phrase in quotation marks, you are telling the search engine or database to only retrieve results that include that specific phrase.
d) Using a minus (-) sign when searching: This is known as the Boolean operator "NOT." By using a minus sign before a keyword in the search query, you can exclude results that contain that keyword.
Now, to answer the question, we need to identify the option that is not a way to limit a search. In this case, the answer is b) Using all CAPITAL LETTERS when searching. Capitalizing the letters in a search query does not serve as a method to limit or refine the search results.
