Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that Dan's search resulted in over 50,000 hits indicates that his search was too broad, meaning he used too general or vague search terms that yielded a large number of results. If his search was too narrow, he would likely have received fewer hits, and if his topic was well researched, there may have been a large number of sources available, but not necessarily on the first page of search results. There is no evidence to suggest that Dan's search engine is not working properly.
