Hacking With Google And Other Free Courses
I gave some courses at the Global Investigative Journalism Conference in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. You can have them for free! Why am I doing this?
a. I was too busy with my work to update this blog. So I feel guilty.
b. I want you to hire me as internet trainer - on a sunny beach
c. I love Creative Commons
Here are the goodies:
| 1. Hacking With Google (Presentations/Computer skills, Flash) By Henk van Ess | ||||
People make mistakes. They put sensitive data on servers. They forget to remove delicate material. They leave directories open with hidden files. Learn how to use Google in a different way. The best search techniques for finding secret documents from governments, institutions and companies. Open them with the right questions. Learn what sort of words you have to type, which special syntax you have to use and how you should interpret the answers.

| 3. Now find that hidden web By Henk van Ess |
Google can't find more then seventy percent of the information in databases. However, there is a way to find some of the hidden data on the web. How do you find a new source, without even knowing that it existed? Discover the hidden web. Segment your search questions - parcel them in metadata. Say again? Think 'like a document' and you'll find exotic sources speedily. Discover a simple, sometimes weird but one-hundred-percent effective toolbox. Stop using your old search habits. |

Le Chef
Welcome to Search Bistro. My name is Henk van Ess (recent interview). My personal site is called Voelspriet, (Dutch) visited by search aficionados like myseIf. I am an internet trainer and consultant for radio, TV and newspapers in The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Great Britain. I trained over 1000 reporters in the practical use of information technology. I also teach internet research & digital journalism at the Universiteit van Amsterdam, the Erasmusuniversiteit in Rotterdam en de Katholieke Hogeschool in Mechelen (Belgium). I am a former head of internet at www.ad.nl and publish two websites about internet research, www.voelspriet.nl (Dutch) en www.searchbistro.com (English). I am a board member of the Dutch-Flemish association of investigating journalists VVOJ, the host of the last Global Investigative Journalism Conference in 2005 in Amsterdam.
This weblog started June 1 2005 and was slashdotted the same day after revalations about humans & Google. Search Bistro is not a daily blog about myself, but a slow blog & mixed bag of search news from visitors of Voelspriet, things I found out myself and tips from you - just mail me. This blog was dead for almost a year (opposite to my career), but started again in May 2007.
