Evaluating Search Results
•Evaluate as you are searching
–Search results that are unexpected can indicate a simple error in your data entry
–Using AND à your result should be a smaller set
–Using OR à your result should be a larger set

It’s very important to evaluate the system’s response to your commands as you conduct your search.  Mistakes happen and I’ve made some doozies in my day!

If you get results that are highly unexpected, there’s usually a reason.  Trust your gut instincts.

If you use an AND Operator, the result should be less than the two sets you’re combining.  If not, did you goof on the set number that you entered?

If you use an OR Operator, your results are usually somewhat larger.  If not, it’s time to review your work!
