Internet Searching

The Internet can be searched in many different ways, but to do it properly, you should include key words, and leave out common ones. Think of it this way, if you google "a dog" the results would include all websites that include "a", "dog", and "a dog" making your searching broader, and perhaps harder to find the information you wish to find. A plus sign would help a lot too. When you add a plus sign and a word after it, you make sure that the word is included to your search, a minus sign on the hand, excludes a word from the search, narrowing your field of information. Quotations would group words together, if you google "an apple" without the quotations, it would come up with results for both words, but if you include quotations, the results would only include the words "an apple". Remeber, be specific, be simple.
