All most people need to know is a little basic
"search engine math"
in order to improve their results.
- Be Specific
Tell the search engine exactly what you are looking for.
-
Using The + Symbol to Add
For pages that have all the words you enter.
E.g. +windows +98 +bugs
-
Using The - Symbol to Subtract
Find pages that have one word on them but not another word.
E.g. windows -98 -3.1
-
Using Quotation Marks To Multiply
Multiplying terms can be thought as "phrase search".
E.g. "windows 98 bugs"
-
Combining Symbols
E.g. "star trek" -voyager -"deep space nine" -"next generation"
