Inside Search Google is the most popular search engine on the web. Most of us rely on Google search for finding information. Sometimes it can be difficult to find just the right information we are actually looking for out of the hundreds or thousands of results returned in Google’s search. Despite using Google every day, we still use it in its simplest form. Towards this end, in July 2012 Google created an online course called Power Searching with Google. The Google Power Searching course is available online on edX as an Xseries program. Go to Power Searching with Google Course The course is structured as a series of 6 modules, each of which comprises of 5-6 short video lessons. The instructor of the course is Daniel M. This Power Searching course introduces participants to the idea of search, how Google works, and gives them the methods, strategies and tactics to find what they need to find.
