Google Search Tips:

Simply type one or more search terms (the words or phrase that best describe the information you want to find) into the search box and click on the Search button. In response, Google produces a results page: a list of web pages related to your search terms, with the most relevant page appearing first, then the next, and so on.

Google searches are NOT case sensitive. All letters, regardless of how you type them, will be understood as lower case. 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.

Google ignores common words and characters such as "where" and "how", as well as certain single digits and single letters. If a common word is essential to getting the results you want, you can include it by putting a "+" sign in front of it. (Be sure to include a space before the "+" sign.) Another method for doing this is conducting a phrase search, which simply means putting quotation marks around two or more words. Common words in a phrase search (e.g., "where are you") are included in the search.
