Use Internet search engines to their full potential

Use Internet search engines to their full potential

          Make sure to get the most out of every search result. If you're not finding what you want try surrounding the text in quotes. For example, if you were searching for 'computer antivirus' this actually searches for pages that contain both computer and antivirus and not necessarily pages that have computer and antivirus next to each other. If you search for "computer antivirus" with the quotes around the search query this will only return pages that actually have computer and help next to each other.
