Thread Name: Tech: How do you narrow a web search?
Subject: RE: Tech: How do you narrow a web search?
OK, so I looked for the word poetry in Google. Once the possibilities came up, I went to the bottom of the page. It didn't say "Advanced Search," but there was a search box there (in addition to the one at the top of the page), so I entered (in quotes) "Let Us Smile" and the search seemed to 'narrow' to books and poetry that had that phrase (and, unfortunately, some similar phrases like "smiles are good for us"). Then I tried to search within that universe for the word "umbrella," and--you guessed it -- back to the patio umbrella supplier!
Just how DO you search only WITHIN a category? I'm afraid Google's instructions don't make that clear.
