Reflection 2

Today we had just started our portfolio. It seem difficult at first because of all the task we have to do before the end of the CDS comes. But seeing the table of content for the portfolio, i only need to do 5pages of research. However, the example of the portfolio that was given to me had 40 over pages. It looks very complicated that i decided to not refer to it. I could only depend on the table of content to continue doing my portfolio. Most of the time, i stared at my computer screen, looking at my portfolio as if it wonn't progress any further. I was not really sure what to add on.

I also learn about the booleon operator which can help me filter out the search results that i wanted. By putting in 'AND' in between the two words that i want to find, i can narrow down my search results because it will only give result that have both of the two words.

We also learned the difference between meta search engine and the normal search engine. There is a huge difference in the number of results found when we type in the topic of the information that we want. The normal search engine gives millions of results while the meta search engine only gives about 100 results. This means that the meta search engine filtered all of the results until it has very little left. However, from my search results, i think that the noraml search engine is more relevant to my search compared to the meta search engine.
