FOCUS ON ANESTHESIOLOGY
Focus on the Internet
Lance W. Wagner, M.D.
Chairman, Lutheran Medical Center
In the last issue of this newsletter we discussed the use of Google Scholar. In this article we will take a look at an advanced search function
within Google: filetype. The filetype command will allow you to focus your search on a particular type of document, such as a Word file (.doc), a
spreadsheet (.xls), a PDF (.pdf), or a slideshow (.ppt). This can be very helpful when looking for educational resources, looking for documents such
as policies or forms from other hospitals, looking for brochures, images, etc.
The “filetype” function can be accessed in two ways. The first is to use the “advanced search” link on the Google page. This page affords many
customizations or limitations to be added to your search. Enter your search terms and then simply go to the File Format line, highlight “Only”, select
the file type you’d like to limit your search to, and click search.
The other way to focus a search on a selected file format is to type your search terms on the search line of the standard Google homepage (or
on the Scholar page) and follow this with “filetype:xyz” where xyz is the three letter file of the type of document that you want to isolate your
search to. For example, to find hospital forms for moderate sedation I might type “hospital policy moderate sedation filetype:pdf” into the search
line. Try it yourself!
