Simple Search Tips
When you submit a query to a
search engine, it assumes that you want to find as many matches to your
keyword or phrase as possible. You might get dozens (even hundreds) of
sites because the search engine will find any occurrence of sites using
all of the words entered.
Place any phrases in quotes when
you search for topics like "sports cars" and this will literally find only
sites featuring the complete phrase of "sports cars." If you wanted to
find sites related to "sports cars" in California, Use the plus sign ("+").
sports cars + California.
You can exclude words by using
a minus sign ("-"). sports cars + California - races
Which would eliminate racing
data from your search.
You can use another mathematical
sign to set the order in which your search query is performed. By using
parenthesis "(" as well as AND and OR, you can choose to search like so:
(sports cars) AND (California)
AND (Ford OR Chevy). |
