When you like something...
P/C Gemini. [create an image of a hall of mirrors with trees and mountains] |
... you probably want some more. And sometimes you want something similar--not quite the same thing, but something that's close, but perhaps with a slightly different take. Maybe something that's a refracted / reflected / slightly transformed version of your original idea.
This happens to me when I'm researching a topic and want additional information that's not just a duplicate of what I've already got.
And this is our Challenge for this week:
1. How can you find related sites (or content) to something that you know about? Suppose you want to learn more about Search and Research methods: Can you find similar or related websites to our trusty SearchResearch1.blogspot.com?
2. Same question, but about a different website: Again, one of my favorite sites, www.3blue1brown.com (an excellent science/math/tech site with lots of exquisite videos illustrating complex topics).
I know you can find these sites, but HOW can you do it?
BIG HINT: No matter what Google tells you when you search for similar sites, e.g. [how to find related sites on Google], the related: operator has been deprecated since June, 2023. It is no more--it has ceased to be. (See the note from Google's SearchLiaison.)
What would you tell a friend about how to do this kind of search?
Let us know in the comments.
Keep searching.
Some years ago, I tried to find related sites to SearchReSearch. I remember that I used related. Also tried adding word similar. The results were not good.
ReplyDeleteI am sure that there's not another space like this.
To search for the topic my advice has been always: Keyword site: SearchReSearch.... And after that we have a lot to keep going.
About this Challenge. I'm not sure how to. Not just because related is gone but because similar or related can be tricky. I think it's like when we use Around () a connection is there but not always is what we want.
I'm looking forward to learn. And also going to visit Q2 site. I didn't know about it. Or at least I don't remember it now
