A.
Choosing effective search terms

|
|
Be as specific
as possible. |
|
If you mean Tuscany,
don't say Italy. |
|
Use more words
to clarify. |
|
If you mean Birthday
Party, don't just say Party. |
Don't use
words
with multiple meanings. |
|
Depression could mean:
glass, a psychological state, or a time in US history. |
|
Spelling
Counts! |
|
Errors will limit your
results. Clue to misspelling would be Google's statement
Did you
mean........? at top of page. |
|
Use all lower
case letters. |
|
Capitals make no
difference. |
|
Common "stop" words are
ignored. |
|
Don't bother typing common words like: where, how, in
the, a, an, it, this, is, numbers 1-10, etc. |
|
So in the query
box above, if this really was a search, what could have been
typed in is:
query box remember space words |
