Tip for searching the internet

I have found some useful tips that help narrow your search on the internet!

1. Place a plus sign (+) prior to each word to view each word separately within your search results, such as: "+writer+grammar+punctuation".
2. Place a minus sign (-) prior to each word to omit a word, such as: "recipe-meat" for a vegetarian meal.
3. Use quotation marks ("), to view consecutive words of a phrase, such as: "flower arrangement."
4. Use hyphens to replace quotation marks, such as: To-be-or-not-to-be.
5. Use plus signs with the quotation of a phrase, such as: +baking+"chocolate cake."
6. Connect words and phrases with hyphens and quotation marks to pinpoint the search, such as: "baking German-chocolate-cake."
7. Use and within a phrase. “James Taylor and singer” will result with a list of singers with the name of James Taylor.
8. Use not to eliminate part of a search. “James Taylor not singer” will result with a list of people that are '‘not’' singers, but have the name of James Taylor.
9. Use or. “James Taylor or Frank Sinatra” will result with a list of ‘'either or both’' of these phrases.
10. Connect to search similar items, such as: "blue-bird or black-bird or blackbird."
