Suggested solutions to the dorking questions:

a) “elon musk” AND “donald trump”, plus a date range such as 2020-2023

b) Shell sponsor OR partnership OR partner research AND university site:edu OR site:ac.uk

c) “capita “ AND supply OR contract “ministry of defence”, plus the specified date range

(putting quote marks around capita and leaving a space after the ‘a’ excludes the mention of capital, a common word in the world of business!)

d) “carlson wagonlit” site:gov.uk filetype:pdf

e) “predictive policing” site:gov.uk -site:london.gov.uk
