Google Tips

 

                        Everyone likes a shortcut now and then.  Here are a few from Google:

 

• Be specific by using quotation marks (“ “).  Tell Google exactly what you want.  For example, “Windows XP bugs.”  You’ll be surprised at how well it works.
• Use the minus symbol (-) to subtract from your search.  If you want to find pages on Star Wars, but not Episode 1 you would search this way: “Star Wars” – “Episode 1.”
• Use ~ to find similar terms.  To search for a word and all its synonyms, use the ~ key.  If you type ~ mobile phone, you will get results with the word “phone” as well as “cell,” and “wireless.”
• Use “or” for multiply word searches.  For example you can say “vacation London or Rome” and get results with vacation and either London or Rome.
• Search numerical ranges.  If you want information about someone from 1959 to 1968, just type persons name 1959 … 1968 and the results will be for just that time period.
