Google insider Daniel Russell explains how to be a great online searcher and says there is much more we can do to uncover the massive amount of knowledge available online.

Russell outlines some intriguing questions to enter in Google to search out information from ‘what is the wrong side of a towel?’ to ‘what is the most likely way you will die?’. He goes beyond the basics to explain how to frame search queries for the best results and the tools to use to refine your search.

Russell is senior research scientist for search quality and user happiness at Google. He teaches search methods, and his online power searching course has been taken by more than four million students.

This event is part of the festival’s programme of American literature and culture.
