1.What was your final question?
Answer: What is Greek mythology all about?
2. What terms did you use to conduct your search? Did they work or not? Why?
Answer: Greek mythology. Yes it worked!
3. Did you need to try alternate terms? If so, what terms did you choose? Did your new terms work any better?
Answer: Yes, mythology and greek, the new terms gave me more results.
4. How would you evaluate your final results? Did you have too many, too few, or just about right? What number do you think is appropriate and why?
Answer: I think my final results is just about right. Not to many and not too few. I think around 5oo to 1000 results is fine because for me personally it doesn't hurt the eye to scan through 500 results and select the links that I think might be useful in my research.

Answer: I think the results were good, it kind of answered my question.
6. How do you use Boolean operators to refine or manipulate resutls?

I'm glad you want to look through 500-1,000 results! I wouldn't choose that number myself, but if it works for you, that's fine.
Your question is very general, which makes it possible to get a large results set. The question I have about is what exactly does it mean? When you ask what something, anything, is "all about," it's not clear what you're really seeking.
I like the fact that you explored the database, but I hope you can refine your question/topic a little more.
