Hints On Searching Sites

“Tips for searching like a pro” from Google Help

1. Keep it simple! Start by typing the name of a thing, place, or concept that you’re looking for. [ puppy training tips ] [ london dinner cruise ] [ pasta recipe ]


2. Add relevant words if you don’t see what you want after doing a simple search. First try: [ puppy ] More precise: [ puppy training ] Even more precise: [ dalmatian puppy training class ] Don’t worry if it takes several attempts to find the right words to describe your search.


3. Try words that a website would use to describe what you’re looking for. Not ideal: [ my head hurts ] Not ideal: [ why is my head killing me ] Better: [ headache ]


4. Use only the important words rather than a full sentence or question. Not ideal: [ country where bats are an omen of good luck ] Better: [ bats good luck ]
