Google Tips

Tips for Googling:

• If you aren’t getting the search results you want change your keywords. Make them more specific or less specific, use synonyms, or rephrase.

• Use quotation marks to search for an exact phrase.   

         e.g. “Wolves of Yellowstone” will only return search results with that exact phrase

• use search term  site:domain to pull up websites with only a specific domain

          e.g. wolf site:edu will only pull up .edu sites with “wolf” in them. You can do this for all domains, .edu .org, .gov. 

• Add a dash (–) before a word or site to exclude all results that include that word. This is especially useful for words with multiple meanings, like Jaguar the car brand and jaguar the animal.  e.g. jaguar speed -car
