How Do You Google? We Want to Know

No one teaches how to Google. Through years of searching the Internet, we've all just figured out a set of strategies that work. In recent conversations around the office, we've realized that not everyone searches the same way. Some people search especially for PDFs or work out from a very specific search or drill down from a general topic. But as a bunch of practicing journalists, we're a weird sample.

We're curious about how you Google, so we created a simple survey that presents you with five hypothetical scenarios in which you want to know a specific piece of information. All you have to do is read the scenarios below and tell us what the first search string you'd enter in would be.
