Searching Tips
Using a search engine the right way will get
you better results than using it the wrong way. Follow these tips
for a more successful search.
- If you are searching for a specific phase,
for example, Internet Service Provider, it is a good idea to enclose
the phrase in " marks. Most search engines then know that
you are looking for a phrase, rather than those words appearing anywhere
on a page.
- If you definitely want to have a certain
word in your results, and exclude results that don't have this
word, type the word with a + symbol before it. This can also work
for phrases in quotes, as above.
- If you want to exclude a specific word, perhaps
looking for CDs, but not music CDs, in many search engines you
can indicate this by including the unwanted word, and prefixing
it with a - symbol. This can also work for phrases, as above.
