Using various techniques and tools for searching

There are additional blogsites which may prove to be invaluable in researching particular subjects, historical information, and other crime related queries.  One of these blogs, which I found interesting is http://investigation.discovery.com/blogs/blog-community/crime-links.html . I found that this website is very useful.  In addition to websites it is important to learn the value of semantics and syntax uses in search engines.  Using appropriate query syntax can greatly improve the value of information returned and in addition can eliminate websites that are not useful.  For example if you want to search for a title in Google you would use the syntax intitle:Crime blogs and likewise you could use "Crime blogs" as your search criteria.
Using http://www.laurajames.com/clews/ for example and searching for "unsolved murder" resolves to 39 hits found on the this particular website.  Another great resource I have found for culling down to a more granular level when researching is http://www.metafilter.com/.   Metafilter works basically the same way as the previous example provided.  A concise source which introduces search engine specific syntax requirements can be found on http://www.utm.edu/departments/acadpro/library/information_pages/syntax.html.  Happy hunting! and if you find (which I know you will) other helpful websites please share!
