Better Google Searches
I've recently learned a couple of ways to perform searches in Google that produce better search results and I'd like to share them with you.
1. Put your search query in quotes, this is especially nice if your search query contains more than one word. For example a search query "movie theatre" will return results about movie theatres first instead of mixing info about movies and theatres and movie theaters together. You can find the information you're looking for much faster. 2. Use the + sign. Let's say you're looking for information about BraddPitt. Into your search query type: Brad Pitt +news, or Brad Pitt +movies, Brad Pitt + articles or Brad Pitt +forum, you get the idea. Hope these tips help make your browsing experience more rewarding.
