Google is the reigning search champ not because the company has clever marketing (it doesn’t) or a killer online dating service (again, no dice), but because the site is easy to use and effective. Therefore, I created a new category for Google to blog about Google’s technology. Let’s start the category with a topic “searching within your results”.

If you search for “slow internet” enclosing the phrase in quotes, and you got 50,600,000 results most of which didn’t even mention where, when, etc. Google has a great feature for helping you narrow down your results to find the really relevant pages, although almost nobody uses it.  Double your Google effectiveness simply by using the “Search within results” link at the bottom of any results page. You can simply enter “tmnet” and you’ll get better result. (about 37,000 results of causes slow internet connection).

Note: At the bottom of every results page is a link called “Search within results.” If you click it, Google offers you a new, blank search box that lets you search for new terms within your results pages only. Bottom: Enter your new search term here, and then press Enter or click “Search within results” to have Google narrow down your search.

Happy Googling!
