Learn To Search Google Effectively
Sunday, December 3rd, 2006Type in a keyword or even a short sentence, hit enter and go down the list. This is how many people use a search engine but as you will soon see, there is more to Google’s search engine. It has a lot more power that is not known, so people can’t take advantage of it.
Most users aren’t aware that Google automatically assumes the word “and” between all the words in a query. That is, if you enter two words, it assumes you’re looking for pages that include both those words—word one and word two. It doesn’t return pages that include only one or the other of the words
The upshot is that you don’t have to enter the word “and” in your query. If you’re searching for Bob and Ted, all you have to enter is bob ted. Google assumes the “and,” and automatically includes it in its internal index search.
