Google

I am giving here about How to search on Google. Basically the impotant thing while searching on Google is "keyword" that means a right or approximate keyword to Google can give 99.99% right result. So keep on trying.

Google is useful, Google is fun. Google is good for everyone. You’d be hard pressed to find someone who hasn’t ever “Goggled” the web.

**Let’s learn what are the functions of tabs & buttons on www.google.com?

There is only place on the page in which the user can type that is called “Search Field”. In order to ask query to Google simply type your query in “Search Field” & press Enter. You will get a long list of websites which contain your query.

Interface Section
1. Web, Images, Groups, Directory, News …:

These tabs allow you to search web pages, photographs, messages, group postings, Google directory listing.

2. I’m Feeling Lucky:
Instead of presenting a list of results, this button will forward you to the highest-ranked page for entered term.

3. Preference:
This link allows you to select several options.

: THE GOLDEN RULES OF GOOGLE SEARCHING:

1. Google queries are not case sensitive

That means Google accepts your query in any case as same. E.g. winamp , WINAMP,WINamp, WiNaMp all the queries are one & same.Google will give same result for all these queries. Exception “AND” and “OR” these are treated as operator when written in uppercase & treated as word when written in lowercase.

2. Google reserves the right to ignore you

Google ignores certain common words, characters and single digits in a search. These are called as “Stop Words”. They are “who, where, a, an, the”. So if such words are coming in your query in just put “+” sign before such words
e.g. +who, +the etc.

3. Word limit :
Google limits searches to 10 terms. This includes search terms as well as advanced operators (+,-).

4. Using Boolean Operators and Special Characters:
The most commonly used operator is AND. This operator is used to include multiple terms in a query. E.g. winamp AND jetaudio.

The (+) sign forces the inclusion of the word that follows it. There should not be any space following + symbol.
Another common Boolean operator is “NOT” which excludes a word from search.
