We both work and home for most of us as part of our normal daily routine, use the search engine. Many of you have a lot can be done more easily find the idea that perhaps not. Here are 5 or 10 minutes and I invest in a new world of help to open your search using Google. I promise that it used my time!

Did you know that you can limit your Google search to a specific site?

For example, say you want to search only the CNN / Money Web site, "Ford to find information." All you need to do is ... Ford's Web site: money.cnn.com

People tell me all the time, I need to add search to my site. Although I agree and neighbors who did not give it I always tell them, my site and index the search engine, and can search my site. For example, ... "credit card" site: everydollarmatters.com ... the current output of 33 clicks.

Is your search as comprehensive as it could be?

If you are studying the term "website development" you know you may have missed a group of other good sites? There are more than 1.1 million pages indexed using the "site." Try ... "website development" or "web site development "..., you will get back to the top of the page while using different language.

Maybe you are searching for a decent tutorial on html or an online course. Try... "html tutorial" OR "html training" online

Or (no pun intended), you might be shopping for a forum in some areas that are of interest to you.
"living green" forum OR "global warming" forum

OR is a nice expansive google search operator.

What can you do to narrow down your search?

Sometimes looking for a specific phrase. For example ...

Maybe you are studying the Kennedy assassination. You can search for ... "John F. Kennedy assassination," "JFK" video.

You can also limit your google search to specific areas of the internet. For example:

*Google Book Search - Search the full text of books
*Google Code Search - Search public source code
*Google Scholar - Search scholarly papers
*Google News archive search - Search historical news
*U.S. Government - Search all U.S. federal, state and local government sites
*Universities - Search a specific school's website

To access this functionality just click on the "advanced search" hyperlink on the Google homepage. You will find these options towards the bottom of the page.

Often times you will receive page hits back that you are not interested in.

Suppose you were searching for the term Six Sigma and wanted to exclude all references to General Electric and Motorola. You could search the following ... Six Sigma-ge-motorola --
