My reflection on the searching activity: I used google as my search engine because i have been using it for a long time, and i think that the infomation and the sequence of website that is shown as results are better then other search engines. I also learn that even though sometimes you have already, typed in keywords, the results returned may not be correct. This maybe due to the wrong placement of the sequence of the keywords.
