How to Search

What’s the difference between Google and Chrome?

Google is a search engine—a tool that helps you find information on the Internet. You can type questions or keywords, and Google will show websites that match your search. Other search engines are Safari (Apple), Microsoft Edge, and Firefox.
Chrome is a web browser—a program that lets you visit websites. You can use Chrome to go to Google, Facebook, YouTube, or any other website.
Think of Google like a map—it helps you find places (websites) on the internet. Chrome is like a bus—it takes you to those places.

How to Search:

Type simple words about the topic you are looking for in the search bar. Click Return.
- Example: construction jobs Richmond Va

Google does not care about BIG or small letters.
Do not use punctuation (!, @, #, etc.)
Keep it simple. Think about the words on the page you want to find. Example: Search for fever and not “I feel very hot and sick.”
Use only a few words. Example: “grocery store near me” is better than “where can I find a place to buy food nearby?”
Pick strong words. Example: “job application Walmart” is better than “how to ask for a job at Walmart.”

Extra Search Tips:

To narrow down your searches, use filters.
When your search appears, you will see filters underneath the search bar.
If you click on images, you will see pictures related to jobs.
If you click on News, you will see news about jobs and so on.
The buttons underneath the filters are also filters. If you’re interested in jobs that require no degree, click no degree. If you’re interested in remote jobs, click remote.
The filters will change depending on what you search for. For example you may see a filter for videos

In the far right-hand corner, you will see a Tools filter. This is a very handy filter.

When you click on tools, you get more choices that can help you. Click on “Any time” and you can narrow down your choices to jobs posted in the “past week”, the “past month,” and “past year.” This will take away jobs that may be part of the search results that are old and no longer available.

There is also an advanced search that helps you search in different ways.
