Tips for Searching Effectively with Google
Ok, you're trying to plan your next vacation, and you'd like to go someplace where you can ride horses. You type "horses" into Google, and you instantly get back results. 1-10 of about 131,000,000! That's far too many. Your vacation will be over before you finish searching the web
The first step is to narrow your search by adding search words. How about horse riding? That narrows the search to 35,500,000. Google's results now show all the pages that contain the search terms "horse" and "riding." That means your results will include both pages with horse riding and riding horse. There's no need to type in the word "and."
Let's narrow it down to only pages with the exact phrase "horse riding" in them. Do this by putting quotes around the phrase you want to search for. This narrows it down to 10,600,000. Let's add vacation to the search terms. Since we don't need the exact phrase "horse riding vacation," type it as "horse riding" vacation. This is very promising. We're down to 1,420,000 and the first page of results all seem to be about horse riding vacations.
Similarly, if you had results you wanted to exclude, you could use a minus sign, so horse -breeding would yield results of horse without the word breeding on the page. Make sure you put a space before the minus sign and no space between the minus sign and the word or phrase you wish to exclude
Isn't another word for a place that hosts horse riding vacations a "guest ranch?" (4,980,000) How about "dude ranch." (4,240,000)
