Search Tips:
-
To enter a query just type in a few descriptive words and hit the 'enter' key (or click on the Search button) for a list of relevant web pages. Since Google only returns web pages that contain all the words in your query, refining or narrowing your search is as simple as adding more words to the search terms you have already entered. Your new query will return a smaller subset of the pages Google found for your original "too-broad" query.
-
Google searches are NOT case sensitive. All letters, regardless of how you type them, will be understood as lower case.
-
Use words likely to appear on a page with the information you want.
-
Make keywords as specific as possible.
-
By default, Google only returns pages that include all of your search terms. There is no need to include "and" between terms. Keep in mind that the order in which the terms are typed will affect the search results. To restrict a search further, just include more terms.
-
Google ignores common words and characters such as "where" and "how", as well as certain single digits and single letters, because they tend to slow down your search without improving the results. If a common word is essential to getting the results you want, you can include it by putting a "+" sign in front of it. (Be sure to include a space before the "+" sign.)
-
To provide the most accurate results, Google does not use "stemming" or support "wildcard" searches. In other words, Google searches for exactly the words that you enter in the search box. Searching for "canc" or "canc*" will not yield "cancer" or "cancer research".
