Internet Searching

Okay, for all of you people who wants to improve on Internet Searching, here's a guide for Internet Searching.

You need to be specific and don't include common words. If you don't be specific and you searched for something you wanted on a search engine, there will be lots and lots of results that the search engine gives you, and you will have a hard time finding the web page that contains the information you want.

Include as much information as possible about what you want to search, and that will help to narrow down your results.

If you want the search engines to search for specific compound words, like "orange juice", then, like I just did, put quotation marks right outside of your compound word that you want to search, like the above.

If you want the Internet to search for webpages and websites with all of the words that you wanted, then put plus marks in front of the words you want to search for. Here's an example: cocktail+formula+gin+wine+beer. I was searching for a formula for making cocktail comprising of gin, wine, and beer. I used the plus signs to make sure that the results that the search engine gave me included the words that I wanted to search for.

Even though you used the plus sign, your results may still contain unwanted words. So you could use the - sign to exclude your unwanted words. Here's an example: cocktail+formula+gin+wine+beer-juice. I was searching for a formula for making cocktail comprising of gin, wine, and beer but no juice. If I searched like the above example, I would be able to see the formula for making the cocktail that I wanted easier.

Okay, if you want to learn how to search properly on the Internet, you could read this blog post of mine.
