Tagging Items

The tagging items exercise that we did in class, demonstrated how one could describe something. How people can use different words to say the same thing. So in reference to searching for something on the web or on a database, it is best to search with different words, because according to the experiment in class different words can equal different results when searching. So I decided to test this theory on google.com. I searched “John Calipari” which gave me different results than “Kentucky’s head basketball coach” as did “Coach Cal” or “Pope John Cal”. All of the searches resulted in different finds which is why it is important to narrow your search and to think of alternative meanings for words or phrase you are trying to describe to the search engine.
