9. Google search tips:
• Either/or
Google normally searches for pages that contain all the words you type in the search box,
but if you want pages that have one term or another (or both), use the OR operator
or use the "|" symbol (pipe symbol) to save you a keystroke.
• Quotes
If you want to search for an exact phrase, use quotes. ["dumb little man"] will only find
that exact phrase. [dumb "little man"] will find pages that contain the word dumb and
the exact phrase "little man".
• Not
If you don't want a term or phrase, use the "-" symbol. [-dumb little man] will return
pages that contain "little" and "man" but that don't contain "dumb".
• Similar terms
Use the "~" symbol to return similar terms. [~dumb little man -dumb] will get you pages
that contain "funny little man" and "stupid little man" but not "dumb little man".
• Wildcard
The "*" symbol is a wildcard. This is useful if you're trying to find the lyrics to a song,
but can't remember the exact lyrics. [can't * me love lyrics] will return the Beatles song
you're looking for. It's also useful for finding stuff only in certain domains, such as
educational information: ["dumb little man" research *.edu].
