Super-Smart Google TricksGoogle is the very center of the Internet. Use it. Here are some tips:. - Google searches are not case sensitive. Therefore, seaches for New York Yankees and new york yankees will yeild the same result.
- Common words like 'the' or 'is' are ignored. the catcher and the rye will return the same results as catcher rye.
- To exclude pages that match a search term, proceed it with ' - '. Therefore, a search for random -house will return pages about randomness, but not about Random House Publishing. However:
- Google returns pages that match all search terms. You don't need to (and can't) put AND or ' + ' between terms.
- To limit your search to a paticular site, use the 'site' command, such as site:yahoo.com news.
