Frequently Asked Questions

Are there Ways to Refine my Searches in Google?

• You can search for an exact phrase by using quotes.
  Example: “Boats for Sale“ will return results that only have that exact phrase in the web pages.
  
  
• You can use a Plus sign to weight keywords.
  Example: +Austin
  Put it together for: “Boats for Sale“ +Austin
  
  
• You can use a minus sign to exclude words.
  Example: -Travis
  Put it together for: “Boats for Sale“ +Austin -"lake Travis"
  This will return results that have boats for sale in Austin but not
  on lake Travis.
  
  
• You can search for just the titles of web pages.
  Example: intitle:Boats will return results with the Boats in the title of the web page, not in the web page itself.
  
  
• You can search an entire website for a unique word or phrase.
  Example: “google tips” site:www.softinsite.com will return pages on www.softinsite.com that have the exact phrase "google tips"
