Tips for using Search Engines

So, you have a school assigment to find some information on this website? Well, I have some suggestions on how to find any information available on the AsiaRecipe.Com website. This web site has more than 4,000 pages of information and it may seem difficult to find what you are looking for, but we have organized everything into specific categories and we have some other tools to help you.


First, on the main page, notice how all of the information available on the website is organized into categories and countries. If, for example, you needed a dessert recipe from Thailand , you would first:

  1. On the Main Page, click on the Thailand link, either on the map image for the country, or on the text link below. This will take you to the main index page for all the information available about Thailand.
  2. Under the recipe categories, you will see a link for Desserts. Click on this link and you will then see the page that has a listing of all the dessert recipes from Thailand.
  3. Now, just find the recipe you want and then either copy the recipe or print out the page for later use.

Another example...... Let's say you want to find some information on the herb called "Rosemary". Again, look on the front page of the AsiaRecipe.Com website. On the left side, under the category "Herbs", there will be a sub category called "types". Click on this link and you will then see the list of all of the herbs with links to further information on each herb.

What if you don't know what country to look in for a recipe or other information? Well, on the main web site page, there is small search box.

AsiaRecipe.com Site Search

example: thai+recipe
On every other page, you will see this on the left side of the page...

Lets say that you want to learn how to cook rice. If you write the word 'rice' in the search box, you will get back hundreds of pages with the word 'rice' on it somewhere, but the information on cooking rice might be buried in one of the hundreds of 'hits' on the word 'rice'. To find information on cooking rice, try writing something like 'how to cook rice'. This will then show you the pages with these words on them, with the closest exact 'hit' being at the top of the list.

Okay, you have looked around the website, tried the search box, but you still can't find what you are looking for. On the main page, and almost every other page on the AsiaRecipe.Com website, you will see a link on the left side called 'Discussion' This is the place to ask any questions and look for answers on many topics. This is not the place to say something like 'Please send me a recipe from Thailand'. This will tell everyone that you did not want to take the effort to get information that is easy to find on the website. Please make some effort to find the information yourself first before asking for help from others. If you have tried, but were not succesfull in finding your information, then the discussion area is a great place to seek help.

If you still feel like you are completely lost, then you may write to me personally and I will try to help you as much as I can. Just click here Larry at asiarecipe.com and send me your message. :-)
