internet research

This page will have all the tricks I've learned to get information off the internet (and elsewhere, but mostly the internet)

Topics to cover:

• How to ask more questions (and not give up on getting answers)
• advanced google search
• How to craft a good keyword search string, based on what you think would/wouldn't be on your ideal page
• iterating on a search keywords string, based on what you got in the results
• How to filter out the junk
• MSDS sheets, where to find them, and how to use them to figure out what's actually in the products you're buying
• Patents, the other way to snoop on secretive products
• Scientific papers, how to wade through the jargon dungeons when the rest of the internet doesn't have an answer
• Reddit and other forum posts, humans answering human questions
