My hint is to try Google Images instead of Google Web under certain circumstances. Examples: When searching for a free music score to print out. When searching for people with the name Orpin I am able to weed out the sites which are instantly recognizable as relating to the plant 'orpin'. I am more able to zero in on village of Hastings Ontario web sites in a sea of Hastings County Ontario web sites - from recognizing known images.

Hi Leo,

I was asked to give a presentation on using Google by our genealogy group and was amazed at the information I found and presented (omg, only 1 hour). Another source I would recommend is http://www.googleguide.com/ by Nancy Blachman. There are cheat sheets for quick reference and even a complete presentation you can use with proper license requirements.

Carmen - it's not a tip posting, it's a sales posting to sell Web Search Garage. "The killer in your spice cabinet --- details at 11:00".

Someone made a criticism about this article not sharing any tips. I also was hoping to find some quick tips, and followed a couple of links on this site to find them...the article on this site: "The one skill you should hone" has some information and a link to a different page called "Using Search Engines - A Tutorial." Just an FYI for anyone esle who was disappointed not to see any examples.

Leo....during a basic computer course I took at our local Community College, the instructor made the point that searches work best by typing into the Google block your search terms in descending order of importance,..forget sentence structure, etc. That has worked pretty well for me...
...Cheers.

I totally agree with your complements of google,it sure was difficult to search prior to google. Recently i've experienced a problem concerning google. I've used Firefox for years and have google as my search engine, About a week ago google was replaced by "INBOX.com",and i can't uninstall it,sure, they tell you how but it doesn't work for me. I uninstalled Firefox.reinstalled and the darn inbox is there again. So i'm using IE7. I sent a note to Firefox but their filter probably threw it out.js

This sounds more like malware/spyware that's residing on your machine. Make sure you run up to date scans.
