Are you using Google for your searching activities?!

Tip #1

Using '+' and '-'

If you write the character '+' beside any word in your search keywords, you tell Google this word is a very important for me, so don't look for any page that doesn't include this word.

While if u write the character '-' beside any word in your search keywords, you tell Google this word is not important at all, so don't look for any page that include this word

Ex: +java –mfc +assembly –prolog

These keywords means

I want pages that include java and assembly keywords and NOT include mfc and prolog keywords

Tip #2

Using '~'

If you write the character '~' beside any word in your search keywords, Google look for the context of this word

Ex-1: MIT ~college

If you write these key words in Google, your search result will include MIT college, MIT school and MIT faculty

Ex-2: ~VOIP

If you write this key word (Voice Over Internet Protocol) in Google, your search result will include VOIP, Voice Over Internet Protocol, IP Phone, SIP (voip protocol)

Tip #3

Using ""

If you write your keywords inside quotation "", you tell Google, I want to look for the exact sentence

Ex: "Java Programming Language"

Your search result will include only pages that contains the sentence Java Programming Language

Tip #4

Using intitle:

If you write intitle: before ur key words, u tell google, plz try to look for pages that include these key words in page title
