Five More Search Tips
1. How To Search A Specific Domain
If you’d like to limit your searches to a specific domain, such as .edu, .org, .gov, and more, you can use the site: command to accomplish this.
2. Add Search Engines to Your Firefox Toolbar
I have about 12 search engines and search services on my Firefox toolbar right now; it saves me a lot of time because I can just type in my search query and instantly pick which search engine I’d like to search with.
3. 100 Search Engines
I love using new search engines and so in 2005, I decided to put together a list of 100 different search engines and search services. Don’t be afraid to try something new - branch out a bit and you might be surprised at what comes back in your search results. I use different search engines throughout the day depending on the nature of my search.
4. How To Use del.icio.us
How did I ever get along without del.icio.us? This social bookmarking site is one of my top destinations throughout the day; I search through other people’s bookmarks and add my own. An invaluable resource to see what a snapshot of the Web community is searching for, I also love just seeing what other people find interesting.
5. Search the Web with Toolbars
Many people save a lot of time in their Web searches by using a toolbar, which is basically a software application which gives searches the ability to perform searches and other functions quickly. For example, I have the Google Firefox toolbar on my browser right now.
