Search Engine Hints

Start Point Search
 
      Five rules for quick looking for information!
  1. Select search engine customized for specific area of information! (Audio, video, images, news etc.)
  2. Choose carefully the right search keywords. Use more then one words. Check for correct spelling.
  3. To find an exact phrase use "quotation marks". Use the "+" symbol to include word or the "-" to exclude word. (e.g. jaguar  +car, jaguar  -car)
  4. Do not give up after the first attempt. Repeat the searching with other keywords or different order of keywords. First keyword is the most important!
  5. Repeat the searching with other search engine. Different search engines produce different results for the same keywords.

          Try to use "quotation marks", "+" symbol and "-" symbol rules. You will see immediately effects in            search results.
