Topic 6 : Truncation & Wildcard
                                                 
This week I learn about Truncation & Wildcard. Truncation is expands the search to locate all words beginning with the same root. For example; teen* will return ( teen, teens, teenage, teenager, etc. ). And, wildcard is used in the middle of a word to match usually known variants of a term. For example, wom?n will return ( woman, women, & womyn. Next, is all about phrase Searching. Phrase searching is when you use a string of words ( instead of a single word ) to search with. And , by using phrase searching you will retrieve fewer results. That all what I learned for this week.
