Google Advanced Search Hints

Use Google Advanced Search to help you limit your internet search to get more focused results. Examples of useful search limits are: domain name (for example, search only .edu, .gov, or .org sites to eliminate commercial webpages) this exact phrase (keeps all the words in a phrase together; putting the phrase in quotation marks also does this) none of these words (helps you eliminate words you don't want to see in your results list; using a minus sign also does this)
