Web Searching Tricks

Web History

Web History offers you a log of websites you've visited, a timeline of your actions and the ability to search your own online history.

 

 

 

 

Start Simple

 

No matter what you're looking for, our motto is "keep it simple." Start by entering a basic name or word. If you're looking for a place or product in a specific location, enter the name along with the town or zip code.

Ignore Spelling

Google's spell checker automatically defaults to the most common spelling of a given word, whether or not you spell it correctly.

 

 

 

Use Web Friendly Words

             

A search engine works by matching the words you enter to pages on the web. So using words that are most likely to appear on pages will yield the best results. For example, instead of saying my head hurts, say headache, because that's the term a medical website would use.



Less Is More
              
Simple, one or two word search terms will usually give you the broadest results. Start with short search terms, then refine your results by adding more words.
