Power-User Hints for Using iResearch Reporter
Here's "How to do it good":
- Use "regular" natural language words in your searches. Don't worry about synonyms, word forms, commands, and complex logic conditions. iResearch Reporter takes care of all
that.
- Use few words and search for general topics. You'll do just fine with 3 - 5 or so words; just describe the general topic. iResearch Reporter identifies the major content points,
issues, and people. Trust it.
- iResearch Reporter works best when it finds a sizeable group of documents. It examines full text of all found documents for its analysis. It can't work with just 3 or 4 documents zeroing in on a tiny sub-topic or specific information
content. It needs10 or 20 or more texts to come up with a good consensus of information content.
- Start browsing the report text and interesting links as soon as you get a report that "looks good." You'll immediately start absorbing information as you browse, and learning about the topic in-depth. With that quick buildup of background
information, you can easily get into the specific, pin-point searching with Google, if you think you need to do that.
- Follow interesting links to original source documents and their full text. That's where you'll learn about your topic and the fine points in depth!
- Be sure to follow interesting links from the original source documents to their information sources. Again, that's where you'll learn more and more and more. Plus you're going to learn enough just getting there, to be better able
to understand it.
- "False drops" - if something looks "off-point" or irrelevant, immediately skip past it. The English language lends itself to errors and illogic from simple analysis of words and terms. If "that's not exactly what I meant," great, just
skip it! Follow something else that does look interesting.
- You'll "be an expert" in 20 or 30 minutes! Really. Now that you know what you're doing, you will be effective searching for specifics with Google or your other search engine.
