Google's University Search provides fewer, but more relevant, results

Tuesday, May 26, 2009

Google is so big, it’s difficult to keep track of everything the search giant offers. One service available is geared for universities.

While you can use Google’s normal search engine to find info about a university, how many other links also show up that have no relevance to your search? That’s where Google University Search can help.

It alphabetically lists most colleges and universities in the U.S. and around the world, including private ones. Click on a school, type in what you’re looking for, such as admissions or information about its campus card, and your results are limited to just that one school.
