Computer and Web Articles

Continuing to hone your Google searching skills over time can only improve your web surfing and researching experiences. The fact that few people ever become true Google Search Masters shouldn’t stop us from trying our best to improve our web searching skills.

And so today (and in many future articles as well) I’ll share Google-searching tips with you in hopes that, together, we can find the exact information we’re looking for more quickly and with less effort than ever before.

For today, let’s start off with two easy-to-remember, virtually-effortless tips.

Tip #1: Don’t waste time or energy trying to enter your search with “correct” capitalization. In fact, don’t waste time with capital letters at all. There is zero benefit to using capital letters in your searches as they don’t matter or alter your search results one bit.

Tip #2: Rein in those lengthy searches! It’s not made clear on Google’s homepage or in its search bar, but Google does have a 32-word search maximum. (Can you believe that prior to January 2005 it actually had a TEN word maximum??)
