Refining my Google searches

[Elijah Whipple]

I’ve been thinking a bit about better ways to search the web. I started using Programmable Search Engine by Google, which limits results to specified websites. (It is intended to be used as a search bar on websites.)

Creating a custom search engine is simple. Screenshot is of this page

I made one search engine with a list of science-related magazines. When I searched the word “insects,” there were articles that cited interesting research that I wasn’t familiar with prior.

I plan to slowly continue making custom search engines this way!
