Turning Search Into a Science

By Kristen Philipkoski



When genetic researchers do a Web search for Dolly, the subject of their query probably doesn't have the last name Parton, nor is it likely a magazine for the fun-loving Australian girl who wants to know the latest on everything from fashion and beauty to entertainment news.



But a Google search will turn up these results and lots of other noise, unless the researcher specifies that results should not include Parton or fashion but must include cloning. Instead, a scientist could use a search engine like Scirus, which specifically taps science resources and publications.
