5 Google Search Tips

5 Google Search Tips:
1. Always keep your search simple. 
If you narrow down your search it will make it much easier to find what you want quicker than usual. When you are searching try to add in the least amount of words as possible.
e.g Instead of typing' shortest man in the world' It would be easier to type' shortest man'
2. Use the words that you think will show up after searching. 
e.g If you are trying to search " Dolphins" Try to type in the name of a specific dolphin to ensure you get what you want.
3. Usually don't search with punctuation marks
Punctuation is not necessary and search engines work much faster withought punctuation.
4. Use descriptive words
If you use descriptive words the thing you are searching for will be much easier to find or locate.
e.g You want to search "laptop cases" You could describe it more like "Pink furry laptop cases from speck"
5. You can use a negative sign (-)
For example when you are searching angle fishing it could give you results for fishing angles as in the one for math. Type in to the search box " Angle -fishing. These words sometimes have 2 different meanings and adding a negative sign (-) can help a lot.
