Lashy started a thread about
Internet searching. I thought it would be interesting for all of us to share our google searching tips.... Here are a few of my favorites:
Search a specific site
To limit your search to results found on a specific web site start your search with
site: For example:
site:www.loungeoftomorrow.com/lot bacon
would find all occurrences of the word "bacon"
Search for a phrase
To search for a specific phrase use quotes, for example:
"i like boobies" would find all occurrences of that phrase but not all the sites that just mention boobies.
You can also combine these first two and do a search for all occurrences of the phrase "i like boobies" found on a specific site:
site:
www.loungeoftomorrow.com/lot "i like boobies"
Define a word
To get the definition of a word use
define:
define:antidisestablishmentarism
Also note that you should not use capital letters in your general searches.
