Google Advanced Search & Google Shortcuts: How to use it

Take advantage of Google's Advanced Search which will focus your search precisely on the subject, sources, date, and format of the information you're seeking.

Either This or That

Sometimes we’re not sure that we’ve correctly remembered the information or the name we need to start our search. But this doesn’t have to be a problem! Simply put in a few potential variations of what you’re looking for, and separate them by typing the | symbol. Instead of this symbol you can also use or. Then it’s easy enough to choose the result that makes the most sense.
