Beneath its deceptively simple search form, Google is a powerful and flexible search engine that indexes billions of Web pages, handling more than 150 million searches a day. You know that what you're looking for must be in there somewhere, but how do you make Google work for you? This guide provides the information you need to make your searches faster and more effective, right from the start. It contains: a thorough but concise tour of Google's features; practical examples to inspire going beyond the basic keyword search; secrets for constructing more powerful queries using Google's special syntax; and advice on how to understand and further refine the results Google provides.
