You all know how to Google, but did you know that Google doesn't always give you the information you're looking for? Google "ranks" the websites searched, and oftentimes website designers can put in a special code within their website to improve their "rank" on Google.

That means if you're trying to search for information about your animal on Google, you might see the first 10 results are ads or websites that have nothing to do with your animal.

Instead of Google, use Boolify. Boolify is a search engine like Google except it uses boolean words (and, or, not, for, etc) to help filter out all the 'junk' that Google comes up with.

Here's how it works:

Step 1: Look at the puzzle pieces on the left hand side. They are color-coded and have different words on them.boolify1

 

Step 2: Click on the uot;>green puzzle piece (the one that says WORD), drag it to the centerboolify2

 

Step 3: Drop it into the center and another small box will appear asking for the Keyword or Phrase.boolify3

Type in: your animal (or a phrase to help you answer your question)

For example, Brennan is looking for information on how beavers make their dams. He would type in beaver dams

 

Step 4: Click the Add Button.boolify4

 

Then, scroll down to see your search results!
