Tips for better search results
Follow these tips when using a search engine to optimize your results.
|
Be specific
Use nouns and unique words |
If your topic is "human morality in Star Wars" you could search for: morals, moral philosophy, ethics, movies, star wars, etc. |
|
Use quotes around phrases
so the search engine will search for the words as a phrase not as separate words |
To look for a complete term, rather than individual words in a term, use quotes around it: "star wars episode I" |
|
Keep it simple and describe what you need with as few terms as possible |
If you are looking for a particular concept, place, or product, start with its name. |
|
Use a plus sign to require words Search engines may remove common words from your search, such as: an, and, the, I, where, how |
Add a plus sign (+) in front of a common word to include it. So episode I becomes episode +I |
