Tips for Searching Effectively with Google

By Marziah Karch, About.com Guide

The first step is to narrow your search by adding search words. How about horse riding? That narrows the search to 35,500,000. Google's results now show all the pages that contain the search terms "horse" and "riding." That means your results will include both pages with horse riding and riding horse. There's no need to type in the word "and."

Stemming Words

Google automatically searches for variations of the words you use, so when you search for horse riding, you're also searching for ride and horses.
