2/8/08 - How to Quickly and Efficiently Search the Internet

It can sometimes be frustrating to search for something on the internet.  You end up with too much information and can't find exactly what you want.  Here are some tips to make your surfing more rewarding.

  • Bring up your favorite search tool (Google, MSN, GoodSearch, Dogpile, AltaVista, etc.)
  • Use Quotes to highlight words which must go together.  For example, a search for Gail Eddy on Google will bring up 367,000 results, while a search for "Gail Eddy" will only bring up 353.
  • Use a Minus sign to indicate words you do not want to see in your search.  For example, I'm not a realtor so I enter -re/max
  • Use a Plus sign to ensure that you see only the results you want.  For example, to see what I have done with the Nederland Library, I will enter +Library
