Try using one or more of these tips to help you find what you are looking for more quickly.<\/p>\n

1. Use the tabs:
\n-search engines usually have: all, images, videos, maps, \u2026
\n-if looking for a photo, click on images tab for a quicker find<\/p>\n

2. Use quotation marks:
\n-if you search for Puppy Dog Sweaters, the engine will search for content that contains those three words in any order
\n-if you search \u201cPuppy Dog Sweaters\u201d, it will search for that phrase exactly as you typed<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Use a hyphen to exclude words:
\n-if you search bats, the animal, you can search: bats
\n-sports -baseball<\/p>\n

4. Use OR to search for multiple words:
\n-chocolate OR white chocolate search will give search results on both types of chocolate<\/p>\n

5. Use key words:
\n-keep it simple by using a few specific words
\n-example of too many words: What do tigers eat in the wild?
\n-example of key words: tiger diet<\/p>\n

6. Ignore ads listed above found items:
\n-many search engines have advertisers whose ads are usually listed first
\n-scroll down to the entries listed that do not have the \u201cAd\u201d tag<\/p>\n

7. Don\u2019t worry about spelling:
\n-the search engine will ask if tigrs was meant to be tigers?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
