Essentials of Google Search I
Choosing search terms: choose search terms wisely -- more terms (up to 10) producer narrower results; order will affect search resultsAutomatic “and” queries: all terms are searchedExclusion of common words: in order to include words such as “the” being searched place a “+” sign in front of itStemming: Google searches on variations of the word, e.g. diet, dieting, dietary

Essentials of Google Search II
Phrase searches: place phrases between quotation marksNegative terms: since many words in English have more that one meaning, e.g. bat the animal, bat the baseball equipment, placing a negative sign in front of a term (–baseball) will help narrow your search for the animalI’m Feeling Lucky: takes you to “the most relevant website … found for your query”

Advanced Search Tips I
I try and use advanced search for all searching and encourage my kids to do so also

You can do a whole lot more!

Google Cheat Sheet
All of the previous “advanced” operations and a lot more can be done from Google.com if you know and use the Google Cheat Sheet
For example: “+” before a word will find the word even if its automatically excluded“~” before a word will find synonymsTwo numbers separated by two periods will find results within a given range
