Tips for Using Search Engines

  1. Choose your words carefully. Use key words and phrases, not whole sentences. Synonyms sometimes help too!

  2. Add more words to narrow your search. Typing "Washington" may bring up a state, monument, D.C., the president, a newspaper, or the football team. But typing "Washington crossing the Delaware" will narrow the search to one of the most famous actions our first president took during the Revolutionary War.

  3. Use the minus "-" character to remove a word from your search. For example typing "apple -computer" will give you information about the fruit, rather than the company.
