how u search dictates what results ur search will throw up !
if u dont know how to search properly, u may not find what u r looking for !

here are some basic tips.

if u type : finds pages containing...

good food : the words good and food
mumbai OR pune : either the word mumbai or the word pune
"I have a dream" : the exact phrase "I have a dream"
food –chinese : the word food but NOT the word chinese
Star Wars Episode +I : this movie title, including the roman numeral I
Google ~Guide : Google info for both the word guide and its synonyms
define:cracking : definitions of the word cracking from the Web
