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 ]
