Article: SSTattler - Google Inside Search - All Tips & Tricks

Google Inside Search - All Tips & Tricks


For a basic search for only SSTattler you will try the simple search at the very top left side. Mostly, it will give you the correct result (but be careful e.g. "cathy" is not the same word is "cathy's" etc).


For more complex query use the Google engine at Google.  First watch the YouTube Optimizing Your Google Search (below) by Taubman Health Science Library, University of Michigan.  You will appreciate the powerful search engine and very simple commands and operators to invoke it.

Then look at  Google Inside Search or look at the list of menu at the bottom of this article - Menu of Commands in Google.  A couple of sample in Google are:
  1. cathy jenkins                                           -- About 5,740,000 results (0.40 seconds) 
  2. site:stroke-survivors.org cathy jenkins   -- 8 results (0.39 seconds)  i.e. in SSTattler
I think your results are better for you is #2 (above) most times!
