Below are some resources to help you in your research of the 4th Amendment: Search and Seizure...Tips:-Use different search terms to get different results (the more specific your search term, the more relevent your results). For example: Instead of only searching for "4th Amendment", try "Search and Seizure" or spell out "fourth amendment"...these will yield different results.
-Use the "Advanced Search" optio whenever available.
-Academic Databases are SUPERB sources of information!
-Carefully Select Your Search Terms
Broad or general terms will return thousands of possible sites. Try to use terms that are more specific to your topic. To narrow your terms, look at sites that you already have found and that are relevant to your topic. Identify possible search terms from those sites. You also can combine terms, using Boolean Operators.
-Use Boolean Operators:
Boolean operators are words that allow you to combine search terms in most search engines. ALL UPPERCASE!
AND
AND tells the search engine to find both terms on the same site. Entering "business AND ethics" would instruct the search engine to find web pages that contain both words, "business" and "ethics."
OR
OR is most useful when the same term may appear in two different ways. For instance, you could use "national football league"* OR NFL to find web pages about the national football league.
*If you want your search engine to search for an exact phrase, put quotation marks (“ “)around the phrase.
NOT
NOT tells the search engine to find pages that contain the first word but not the second. This limitation is helpful when you know your search term is likely to appear with another term that does not interest you.
Symbols
You can use "+" as a substitute for AND, and "-" as a substitute for NOT.
