Web Searching Tips

After all the HTML, CSS lessons, we shift to tips on web searching.

The Tips and Tricks of Web Searching:
1. Use Web Friendly Words
Using words that are more likely to appear in webpages, will yield the best results.
2. Less is more
The less words you use when searching, the more results will appear.
3. Search with an exact phrase
Put quotation marks around words to search for an exact phrase in an exact order.
4. Don't worry about cases
When searching words with all caps,

5. Search within a specific site
If you want your answers to be on that site, precede your query with the site.

The search engine ignores punctuations.
7. Search by file type (docx.,pdf., etc.)
8. Number Conversions
9. Time
10. Currency Conversions
11. Check the Weather
12. Definitions
