Search Basics

• Keep it simple. A search engine is not a human being; think how the words are likely to appear on the page.

• More keywords will help narrow results• Search is generally case insensitive• Limit your search by date range, language,

document type.• Use Google as a calculator, to find weather

forecast, time zone information, conversions, and dictionary.
