Google Tips

Here are a few tips to increase your effectiveness using Google:

  • To limit to a particular domain,
    enter 
    site: before the domain,
    e.g. site:.edu or site:.gov.
    Domains are related to
    the TYPE of site it is:

    .edu = education or university
    .gov  = government
    .org  = nonprofit
    .com, .net = commercial

  • If you're searching using a very specific phrase, place it in quotes. This will search for those words in that exact order.

    Examples:

    "physical therapy" 
    "power of attorney"

  • Try adding the phrase allintitle: before your search terms.
    • Example: allintitle:social media impact families

  • Use Google's Advanced Search and learn more on their Help page.
