When searching the internet for information, the best ways to filter down all the information and get to the specifics of what it is you are looking for is to use specific KEY WORDS in your search. For example, when searching for a good pasta recipe one would want to use words such as "pasta" "sauce" "recipe" and "easy". This would suggest that you are looking for an easy pasta recipe and you would greatly increase your chances of finding what it is you're looking for within in the first few search hits. Key word searches are also a good rule of thumb to remember when searching for information.
Another key factor in finding information is being able to then hold on to that information once you've finally found it. Some of the most common methods of information extraction are tabs, tags, and bookmarks. But in more recent development websites are creating specified ways of holding on to a searchers information directly through the website. Example: Pinterst is a website that allows its users to find massive amounts of information on an area of interest (mostly visual), and then allows the user to "pin" the information once they've found it to there specific boards created just to hold information related to the topic. Once an item is pinned, it is forever saved under its category and the user can then easily refer back to it whenever they need to.
