I'd be litterally dropping down on the floor if everytime someone said "use Google" someone else would....wait....nvm (knows killha would come in and ask it just to be hung, ran over, bricked, shot, decapitated, and have his dead corpse gang rapped by 40 guys and 3 girls -_-) anyways, yeah....if ya don't know this awesome place by now <a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">http://www.google.com</a> you're pretty slow, sorry to say XD But there's lots of cool things u can do with it to make your results more accurate than the typical typing of "keywords"
Perfect example, I wanna search for the Jpop group known as "MAX" or "Musical Active eXperience". Now obviously if u just type in MAX you'll get pretty much every page with the word "Max" in it. Typing in Musical Active eXperience will give you more of pretty much everything ELSE, HOWEVERRR put that Musical Active eXperience in QUOTES (so you type "Musical Active eXperience" in the search bar) and I'll get EXACTLY what i'm looking for :o what the quotes does is it turns the search into an EXACT search, meaning whatever is between the quotes HAS to appear on the page exactly as its typed word for word (not case sensitive)
Another tip is taking words out of search results using the - sign (-country, -world, etc) so if I wanted to search for the top 40 songs but NOT include the top 40 country or world charts, I would type "Top 40 -country -world" (quotes not included). You could also combine the two tips and search for "Top 40" -country -world.
There are more ways to simplify searching, but these are the 2 i like to use alot.
