What are some search tips when searching on yahoo or google?

Question

I know you can add quotes to a phrase or a plus sign for words but are there anymore ways to make searching easier?

Answer 1

use commone words paraphrase

Answer 2

You can use google as a calculator by just entering, for example 2+2. You can even type in the search bar 1 gallon in quarts, or 1 dollar in pesos and the google calculator will return the answer.

You can also use Google as a dictionary. Type "define:" (don't use the quotation marks) before any word (no space between "define:" and the word) and it will return all of the web definitions it can find. Example:

define:coelacanth

For some reason Yahoo! won't let me paste a link to the google help page, but just type in the address and add /help/features.html to the end.

Answer 3

type in what you're searching for and press "return" or "enter"
