Like many things in the realm of computerdom, however, these search engines are not quite as intuitive as their designers would have you believe. I mean, sure, you can simply enter a word, click on 'search' and come up with a few thousand or even a few hundred thousand of possible pages to view, and if quantity is what you desire then, cool, you're home free. The idea of this rehash is to describe for your amusement a few of the fancier search techniques. One of my favorite techniques is the use of boolean operators. Sorry, I sort of forgot myself for a minute there.
Some search engines require that they be entered in all caps in order to work.
Using a query string with the AND operator means that the documents we seek must contain all the linked words. The OR operator means that we're looking for documents in which at least one of the linked words is present. An example of this would be nude OR naked . This would return all manner of critters, but not dogs. You can group and give precedence to certain operators by using parentheses.
