# Google Search Assignment
Emily Herrera


1) What would you query to see how many pages on the English Wikipedia site mention “Northeastern University”? How many results did you get?
    You would query " site:wikipedia.org "Northeastern University"" and you would get 11,900 results
    
2) What would you query to see Web pages about the skate fish but no pages about an “ice rink”
You would search "skate fish -"ice rink" 

3) First day - last day of 2002 "Northeastern University" search
    Search "Northeastern University" and then click "Tools", go to the "Any time" and go down to "Custom Range". You can then enter the date range you are looking for.

5. I'm going to be using https://dcgazette.com/ as my example. The DC Gazette's first mistake is not sourcing the news that they provide. Nearly ever. Most of the links provided have headlines that to not include (NYT reports) or anything like that. Any normal news organization legally (and morally) will upfront provide the source. They have numberous broken pages that lead you to sites that are vape ads. (Probably got a virus today.) Not to mention "container collapse" is also present here. It seems like it would be a newspaper, especially with a traditional name like a "Gazette", but this is really nothing more than a blog. Also, there is no evidence that any original reporting is being done anywhere close to D.C.
6. So you have been a member of the W3C for a long time and I "Control F'd" "Best selling" and I did not see that in the page. So, I continued my search and believe it is, but it does not say so on the page. I don't know what exactly what would make a book "best selling" apart from a goodreads list, but I'm sure many other books that are considered "best selling" haven't gotten half of the credibility that you have, so I would most likely add that term to the page. I would also include more about the classes you currently teach.
