Hi all:

how do you teach "search engines"?  Do you

1.  describe search engines, then pick a few that you like, demonstrating each and detailing quirks of each 

or

2.  describe search techniques (such as boolean searching or +/- syntax) and then say something like you can use technique "A" with search engine 1, 2, 3, and technique "B" with engines C, D, & E?

or

3.  something else completely?

We're re-vamping our class and I'm looking for something "fresh"

Jo-Ann
