The internet is really big. It keeps growing bigger every day. If you want to search it effectively you're going to need a couple of tricks to help you narrow the search. Try using +, - and " " (quotes) to narrow your searches. Let's say you searched for apples on Google.com. If you just type in "apples" you get 22 million returns. A few more sites than you can check in an afternoon so let's narrow the search down. Let's say that what you're really interested in is green apples. To see all the apple websites that also have the word "green" on them type this: apples+green, Now you will only see those apple sites that also have the word green on them. To narrow the search even more eliminate a word. For example, some of the websites are also about Apple Computers so get rid of them by typing this: apples+green-computers. A final way to narrow the search is to use quotes to narrow the search to an exact phrase. For example if what we're really interested in is granny smith apples we can add that to the search like this: apples+green-computers"granny smith" Now I will only see websites that have the words "granny smith" on them in that order spelled the way I spelled them.
These techniques will work in most search engines, not just Google.
