B) Use of a directory
C) Keyword searching
D) Search string
Ans: A
Boolean searching uses terms AND, OR, and NOT in the search string. These terms assist the user in increasing the precision of the search. A directory is a list of websites found on the internet that have been organized by a hierarchy determined by the author of the directory. Keyword searching is a descriptive term that can be used to search documents. When you use basic keyword searching, the program is being commanded to identify every document that has the keyword anywhere in the document. Keyword searching is useful for identifying large amounts of information on a topic. A search string is the words or commands that are entered into a search box to identify the desired information.
