EXPLORING Google
In an earlier lesson, you learned how to search for images. Google, however, indexes millions of images; and your
search results can result in hundreds or even thousands of images. Most likely, many of these images do not
match your search topic. To limit the number of images to your particular quest, you can use the Advanced Image
Search link. Starting on the main page of the Google Image Search, click the Advanced Image Search link located
to the right of the Search Images button. Clicking this link takes you to the Advanced Image Search page. On this
page, you can use text boxes to limit your search, relate it to an exact phrase, or relate it or not relate it to any
specific words. You also can specify content type, size, coloration, file type, domain, and safe search with
filtering options.
Using Google, search for Academy Award winners. Select three of the winners for whom you would like
additional information and do an advanced search on these three people. Use Word to write a paragraph about
each of the three winners that you selected. Next, use Google's image search tool and find at least two images that
relate to each winner. Insert the images into your document within the paragraphs that relate to each winner. Use
section breaks between the paragraphs and add a title to the page.
Solutions will vary.
