Google

Currently Google (www.google.com Links to an external site.) is the most used search engine in the United States.  Here are a few tips for making the most of your Google searches:

 

Start with a simple search for universal health care.

For this search Google searched each of the words you entered separately. You probably got more than 290,000,000 pages! Looking through even a fraction of these is time consuming and frustrating!

 

Next try "universal health care"  

When you put quotes around universal health care, it ensured that the words were searched together as a phrase. You should have gotten fewer "hits," perhaps around 8,000,000.

 

Finally, try "universal health care" "united states"

Adding the phrase United States makes the search more specific. We are excluding Web sites in other countries. You should have gotten even fewer returns, around 3,000,000.
