Search Files by Google

My CALL teacher said that she is better than others because she is good at searching on the internet. I learned a skill of searching files from her in the CALL class.

If you want to search a specific file. You can key in the filetype on google. For example, you want to find a power point about "TOEFL", so you key in "filetype:ppt TOEFL" on Google. And you will see...

All files you search are power point related to TOEFL. How easy it is!

In addition, Google Scholar is another good search engine. It can limit the search in scholarly research. The site is http://scholar.google.com.tw/schhp?hl=zh-TW .

Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts and articles, from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories, universities and other scholarly organizations. Google Scholar helps you identify the most relevant research across the world of scholarly research. (From About Google Scholar)
