Search String Attempt

The act of using a search engine to find specifically what one is looking for. If the search string is vague it may require multiple attempts with various other search strings.

"It took me 15 freakin search string attempts to find the doco i saw 3 years ago!"

Gopher Search

Gopher lets you search for resources using menus. It originated at the University of Minnesota which has (as you guessed it) a gopher for a mascot. Insted of accessing with the adress of the domain, you select any entry in a gopher menu and like the human "gofers' of the world, Gopher goes out for the material you want. Gopher is like a regular library subject catalog and it will search for the holdings of many libraries for your subject.

gopher fatty.law.cornell.edu which is the Cornell Legal Information Institute of Cornell Law School.

edu - educational institute

other domain adresses are as follows:
com - commercial and buisness
gov - government institutions
mil - military institutions
net - network recorces
org - other organizations

If you're confused thus still on how gopher searches operate. See your system administrator, media specialist, brilliant friend or librarian for help!

Search history

The system that can get you arrested or grounded for looking up illegal stuff

2. “I can’t go anywhere cause I’m grounded due to my mom seeing my search history…”
