COSAs 11.5 Lesson 5 Challenge

The keyword challenge was harder that I thought!  The first challenge I tried was the Buffalo Challenge.  On my first try I got a 56 % rating in my second try I got a 69% rating with a Keyword Efficiency Rating of 30%.  (I probably would have used the word “bison” instead of “buffalo” but couldn't change words in the challenge.) Then I tried the Hollywood Challenge and got 70% on my first try and 80% on my second try with a Keyword Efficiency Rating of 68%.  My last challenge was the Piranha Challenge and I got a 58% on my first try and a 42% on my second try I got 42% with a Keyword Efficiency Rating of 45%.  What did get from this?  It seems I've been doing searches incorrectly and/or inefficiently for years!  I was also a bit confused when some of the words I thought were important were not keywords but intermediate words. I may just bookmark the Internet Search Challenge page in order to practice more and learn how to make search engines work more efficiently for me.
