Answer 2

well i guess if you want to get more accurate results, you type in detail information you are looking for. The search engine will be providing you with matching results. The results will only show the sites with the specific words you have typed in.

Or else if you give a one word search, the results will be broad and many to choose from.

Yes, yes...  I'd also have to say google.

Answer 4

Google is a search engine that uses key words to find information.  Handy if you don't know the website address.  The more relevant information you give the more accurate the required information will be.  Google has a habit of providing too much information that does apply.  So keep it as close as possible to get better results.

Answer 5

type as much detail as you can and press search

Answer 6

I find when I'm looking for something that i put in all the key words. Then depending what that comes up with i will take off a word or add a new one.
