Web searchers need to be skilled in identifying the concepts inherent in the search questions. In parsing the question, the searcher will note one or two core concepts and any supportive or descriptive concepts. The searcher can work with these to emphasize a dominant concept, refine by adding supporting concepts, or expand a concept with alternate spellings or word variations. So, let's try out the quiz. All the best!
