Searching the Internet - 10

Now, let's try that the other way around.  We want to find information on the OHL.  Type into the search box:

hockey

Then click on Google Search.

Look at the results; Google found over 98 million webpages about hockey.  However, we can't see any about the OHL... they are buried in there somewhere, but where?

To tell Google we want information about hockey and the OHL, we use the plus (+) sign.  Type into the search box:

hockey +OHL

Then click on Google Search.




Using the plus (+) sign to tell Google to show results with both the words hockey and OHL helped us narrow the results down to about 5 million. 

And we found the page we are looking for!

Search Rule #6- Use the Plus (+) Sign to Tell Google to Only Show Pages with Matches on All Words
