If all you do is enter a few keywords and click the search button, you're one of those users who don't get as much out of Google as you could. In this article, Google expert Michael Miller shows you how to search smarter — and more effectively.</DIV></div></div></div></div><br><div style="margin-bottom: 40px;">Tags: <a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/google/" rel="tag">google</a></div>http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=675274&seqNum=1&rl=1Wed, 27 Dec 2006 12:30:27 GMTGreat Google Search Tipshttp://clipmarks.com/clipmark/F1733146-08F9-41E3-A33F-79FCA2D0259F/<b>clipped by:</b> <a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/thisnamecantbetaken/">thisnamecantbetaken</a><br><b>clipper's remarks:</b> Useful tips if you're into researching anything.

E.g. when you search for [house] but you want to find “home” too, search for [~house]. To get to know which synonyms the Google database stores for individual words, simply use the minus operator to exclude synonym after synonym (they will always show as bold in the SERPs, the search engine result pages).

This feature was introduced April this year and is called Google <STRONG>Q&A</STRONG>. (See some of the various <A href="http://blog.outer-court.com/archive/2005-04-07-n20.html">working Q&A sample queries</A> to get a feeling for what’s possible.) </LI></div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><LI value="0">Sometimes, Google warns you about its results, especially when they might seem like promoting hate sites (of course, only someone misunderstanding how Google works could think it’s <EM>them</EM> promoting hate sites).
