If you have discovered any specific ways to enter searches that seem to work well let us all know.

I have found one word that helps me a lot when I misspell a word and my dictionary does not offer a correct result. That word is "define". Almost always, if I enter "define <misspelled word>" the search will offer an option for the correct spelling.

This never works but it does make me feel better... mutter under breath... "why are search engines so damn useless these days at working out i'm not looking to buy or sell anything, simple information would make me happy!"

I often think the definition of <"......"> has been redefined:

"Search" means "Buy or Sell".

"Sell" means "Buy"

"Buy" means "sell"

"Information" means "Buy" + "Sell" + "Information".

"Information" + "Buy" + "Sell" + "Search" + "Define"... i guarantee you this time next week (if doesn't already) will mean... "Search by Best Seller or Buyer as Defined Information!

Alta Vista, et al, oh how i lament thee!

Because most search results are paid for.

The obvious answer is one word, sheep.
