 * 30 April 10 || **ICT PD Workshop - "Better Google Searches"**

1. Phrase search ("")

By putting double quotes around a set of words, you are telling Google to consider the exact words in that exact order without any change. 2. Terms you want to exclude (-)

Attaching a minus sign immediately before a word indicates that you do not want pages that contain this word to appear in your results. The minus sign should appear immediately before the word and should be preceded with a space.

3. Search exactly as is (+). By attaching a + immediately before a word (remember, don't add a space after the +), you are telling Google to match that word precisely as you typed it

4. Exceptions to 'Every word matters'

Words that are commonly used, like 'the,' 'a,' and 'for,' are usually ignored (these are called stop words). But there are even exceptions to this exception. The search [ the who ] likely refers to the band; the query [ who ] probably refers to the World Health Organization -- Google will not ignore the word 'the' in the first query.Synonyms might replace some words in your original query. (Adding + before a word disables synonyms.)

Another option is to use the "advanced options". See the PDF attached.
