Tip #2: Use all the different sections of Google, for example News
Tip #3: Use Google Advanced Searchwww.google.com/advanced_search
The first box, “all these words,” is an AND search. It looks for websites where all those words occur frequently. That’s your normal
Google search
You don’t have to put “and” between your search terms.
The 2nd box, “this exact word or phrase,” looks for only those exact words in that exact order,
so be careful that you’ve got it right! Good for quotations or terms that you’re sure about and you
want to keep the words together (ex: “generalized anxiety disorder”)
The 3rd box, “any of these words,” is an OR search. It looks for pages with this word, OR that word. It’s a broad search and best
with synonyms…
