Finding what you want online

If you want cheap life insurance, just click it’s link here.  But if you need something more specific…read on.

When a person uses a search engine and types in a few keywords, the search engine doesn’t necessarily give a result like people think.  If you type in “red skies” you’ll get pages that have the word ‘red’ as well as ‘skies’ and even pages with both ‘red’ and ‘skies’ in them.

To make sure you get a page that has both every time simply put a ‘+’ sign in front of every word.  I make a habit of typing ‘+’, the word I want, a space, another ‘+’, etc…to make sure I narrow the results.

Otherwise I’d be sifting through pages including Rudolph and Nazis in space needlessly, when I may want a picture or story about “red skies”.
