Hair Loss Research - 5 Lesser Known Tools

Many persons turn to the internet to carry out hair loss research because 1) they are concerned about their own thinning hair, or 2) a partner, close friend or relative is experiencing the problem.

Here are 5 guidelines for conducting an in-depth hair loss research session that will yield amazing results. With the accurate, abundant information you will unearth, you or your loved ones can make informed choices.

#1 - Refine search results by creating a search phrase

Just entering the keyword 'hair loss' in a search engine will yield millions of results pages but who has the time to wade through even the first 20 or 30 search results?

Far better to narrow you search by developing a search phrase. What particular aspect of hair loss do you need to research? Here are some ideas:

hair loss symptoms female hair loss causes male hair loss support forums hair loss herbal remedies hair loss articles hair loss FAQ hair loss guide hair transplant procedures hair transplant costs

Then be sure to put double quotes at the beginning and end of the phrase, e.g. "hair loss symptoms". This will ensure the search engine only delivers results that contain that specific phrase as opposed to results that have the words hair, loss, or symptoms, somewhere in a paragraph, not necessarily relevant to your search.

#2 Use the 'Related Pages' tool on Google

If you find a web page that gives good hair loss research information, you can easily access similar pages that may flesh out areas of the subject this page may not cover so comprehensively. So just copy the URL of the page you find helpful, open a new window, go to Google, and enter the word 'related" followed by a colon, and paste the URL, like this:

related:www.theURLyoujustcopied

You can then easily research other high quality pages similar to the one you found so helpful.

#3 Search for specific file types

There are thousands of free ebooks and reports available on the internet which can be downloaded to your hard disk and read thoroughly offline. Many ebooks come in PDF format, so just enter this in your search engine:

hair loss filetype:pdf

#4. Search US Government health web sites

The United States Government, with its vast resources, runs a number of web sites specializing in health issues. You can easily tap into this massive reservoir of quality hair loss research information by using another Google tool that specializes in search US government public domain resources.

Here is the link:

By combining this idea with the previous suggestion you can find excellent downloadable ebooks on many subjects. So go to the above link and type:

hair loss filetype:pdf

or

hair loss filetype:doc

#5 Expand your search engine toolkit

Every search engine has its own distinct personality due to unique search algorithms it has developed and uses to set it apart from the rest.

You may want to bookmark a personal top 5 search engine or search directory list. For example:

google.com yahoo.com msn.com ask.com wikipedia.org

Just browsing the top 5 sites or so on each search engine/directory can yield a crop of quality hair loss research material.

When doing hair loss research on the internet you can save a lot of time and energy by employing the 5 lesser known techniques above.

Pay special attention to the first suggestion. By fine tuning the wording of your search phrase and skillfully adding adjectives or other discovery words to your main phrase, you can often put your finger right on the information you are looking for.
