Imagine you are looking for information, there are many stuffs to review. You have no time to waste in the Internet. Maybe, you are looking for documents for your work, homework or your doctoral thesis. There are documents that have many pages, how can you review too information using less time? I will share with you some tricks to look for information in the Internet:

Search engines

There are many search engines that you can use to look for documents in the Internet. The most known are Google, AlltheWeb, Yahoo and MSN. Use more than one search engine. Use more than one and less than five key words to search for the information you are looking for. Do not look more than the first ten pages that you found using the search engines. The next pages have repetitive information, and make you to waste time.

Pages found using search engines and HTML text documents

The most “saving-time” command that you need to know is the command FIND using edit menu or CTRL+ F, the quick form. This command works similar in web browsers like Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and  Google Chrome. For example, if you write on the browser of your search engine the topic that you want to find and hit enter key, you can read a summary of every title. If you find some title worthy, open it up, hit command CTRL+ F, write a phrase or key words in the command browser. Also you can highlight, all the part in the document with that phrase or key words. Read the pieces of the documents near the highlighted words. In this way you can decide, if you continue reading or go to another document. You can use this method for documents in Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, Open-office, etc.

PDF documents

You can use the same method for PDF documents and use CTRL+ F command. If you use Adobe Reader to open a document is useful the command SHIFT+CTRL+F. It opens a bar that allows to see all the result of your search and easily navigate into the document. Also, if you have several PDF documents saved in your computer, you can review several documents at the same time.

These tips are applied to editable text documents. Documents saved like images are difficult to review quickly. If you did not find editable text documents with the information that you are looking for, then check non-editable text documents, read index, titles and references. In this way, you can evaluate quick any document. Sometimes there are important information in these documents.

I hope that these tips will be useful for you. And always remember that “Time is money”
