    Little google search tip

    If you put a - in front of a word in your search box, Google will exclude search results that contain that word.

    Ran into this problem all the time, but especially when researching "steroids." All I got was 15 pages of prednisone. So I added "-prednisone" at the end of my search query and now I can finally find what I'm looking for.

    I use Google for studying all the time. Sometimes it takes time to find the necessary info, so I'll keep your tip in mind. Thanks!

    I thought I knew a lot about searching online using Google but I learned a number of new tricks while researching my college project using help of https://www.topwritersreview.com/rev...customwriting/ . The sad fact is that people use search engines improperly. Their searches return more results than can be viewed in hundreds of years of browsing.

    Google "Google Search Operators" for several of these kind of things.... I use "site:" all the time to get only .edu or .gov websites.
