Google+Searching

TIPS AND TRICKS Google searches are NOT case sensitive. All letters, regardless of how you type them, will be understood as lower case. For example, searches for george washington, George Washington, and gEoRgE wAsHiNgToN will all return the same results. If your search term has more than one meaning (bass, for example, could refer to fishing or music) you can focus your search by putting a minus sign ("-") in front of words related to the meaning you want to avoid. For example, here's how you'd find pages about bass-heavy lakes, but not bass-heavy music: Sometimes you'll only want results that include an exact phrase. In this case, simply put quotation marks around your search terms. Phrase searches are particularly effective if you're searching for proper names ("George Washington"), lyrics ("the long and winding road"), or other famous phrases ("This was their finest hour”)    The query [define:] will provide a definition of the words you enter after it, gathered from various online sources. The definition will be for the entire phrase entered (i.e., it will include all the words in the exact order you typed them).   || 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. For example, to plan a vacation to Hawaii, simply type vacation hawaii.   +  Addition   45 + 39   -  Subtraction  45 - 39   *  Multiplication 45 * 39   / Division 45 / 39  **Currency Conversion** – simply enter the conversion you’d like done into the Google search box and hit ENTER. For example : 1 USD in EURO or 3.5 USD in GBP You can add one site limiter to each search to limit your results to a certain domain by typing the word [site], a colon, then the domain you wish to search. For example, site:edu will return only results from educational domains. **gov**-government, **edu**-educational institutions, **com**-commercial business, **org**- Organizations (non profit), **mil** – military, **net** – Network organizations.
