Free Google search training from Google: How to become a Super Internet Searcher

While it is easy enough just to type some keywords into Google`s famous simple search UI this does not necessarily mean that you will find always quickly the most valuable and reliable information that is available out there.

Get fewer and more relevant results, and find information you did not know you could find, with Google Search Training.  Google Search Training is a course from Boost eLearning that
develops the skills to use the 15 filters and operators available within Google to effectively find high value information. Google Search is the primary way people access information, yet few give a thought to how they find information.  As a result, Google’s unparalleled and mostly untapped power is not used.



Daniel Russell working at Google for “Google Search Quality & User Happiness” is making us happy with his great training course called “Becoming a Super Internet Searcher”. (download here the 3MB PDF). In this search training course you will learn:
  • How to use Internet search and Internet resources for schoolwork and home use
  • Develop effective search query formation
  • Learn how to organize your search
  • What to do when you are stuck
The best thing is that Daniel does not stop here, he is providing also excellent tips of how to evaluate the trustworthiness of the sites that you will find, so that search results can be put into the right context.
The PDF “Becoming a Super Internet Searcher” contains 97 pages of insights and advice and it is interesting for beginners and advanced Internet users: It provides you with the required background knowledge to improve your search. We highly recommend it.
