    Finding stuff on that Internet thingy

    Let us discuss ways of using search engines to get relevant results. I'm sure that I'm not alone in getting vast amounts of irrelevant stuff whenever I try to find things using a search engine, what do folks do to get the answers that they are looking for?

    Use keywords to wittle down the right match, use speech marks (") or apostrophe's (') on the words you are particularly looking for.

    Also, if using the usual search engines such as Google/Yahoo/MSN where sites appear because the words you entered into the criteria are in the sites, then just add more words to narrow it down further.

    I use Google a lot, and here is an excellent Google Guide: http://www.shortcourses.com/sharing/google.htm
