Thread Name: Tech: How do you narrow a web search?
Subject: RE: Tech: How do you narrow a web search?
Try not to be too wordy and be specific. For instance, I put in "prudence harelip" on google, without the quotation marks. First thing that came up was Precious Bane, a book at Amazon with a main character named Prudence with a harelip.
Also, leave out the and, the, or, etc. as they are so common, google ignores them.
If you are looking for something about a specific region, start with the state or country first, then break it down, i.e. "Colorado Gold Hill restaurants."
If all else fails, ask...some of us LOVE doing this!:-)
