How it will help you become a better searcher, online.

  • Ever get 3 billion results when searching? Want to shave it down to 17 results?
  • Ever spend over 20 minutes searching for something and give up in frustration? Want to shave it down to about 20 seconds?
  • What about when you can’t find something on only one website, but you know it’s there?
  • How about if you want a phonebook for all the listings of a name in a particular location?

Do this search on Google…

  • …and see what I mean: salsa
  • Then do this search: salsa -dance

See what I mean? The second search takes out all salsa searches related to dance.
