Help in Google (or other) Searching
I received a SitePoint Tech Times (techie newsletter)
today and it mentioned a new beta on Google which uses auto-complete: Google Suggest Beta For those of you who are Search Challenged, this might help. As you type in what you want to search for, it also searches its list of searches and shows that list to you. As any good searcher understands, knowing what words to use can make or break a search. If you're stymied with the first search, look for results which somewhat match your goal and pick up new adjectives to use in your next search. Refine it as you go. Enjoy! http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1 -- "Most Folks Are As Happy As They Make Up Their Minds To Be" -Abraham Lincoln ----------------------------------------------------------- www.diversify.com - Happy Website Development |

I really don't comprehend how people can have problems searching. For example, for the millionth time someone asked about what to use on a cutting board... so I typed in what do I use to finish a cutting board 3rd link down gave the answer... What problem do you people really have? |

Question, when setting up meta links for my ebay store or web site for

Pocket hole comes up 1,810,000 times Pocket hole jig comes up 57,700 times Kreg Pocket hole jig comes up 17,600 times Kreg 2000pp comes up 12,300 times Is it better to be narrow or all inclusive?

Scott Apparently google ignores meta links/tags now anyway and only looks at the actual visible content of your website?? Or so I heard. I think there is something on google's search engine information pages to say something similar. Not sure about other search engines. -- Regards, Dean Bielanowski Editor, Online Tool Reviews http://www.onlinetoolreviews.com Over 70 woodworking product reviews online! WIN!

It's really all about figuring out what other people call those things you're thinking of. I recall a story about how hard this is to do in other languages & cultures. An American somewhere in the middle east couldn't find the number of a rental car agency until he asked the operator to look for "We Try Harder." ;-) -- Mark |

"Larry Jaques" wrote in message ... http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1 At first, I didn't think this tool provided any value. Then I realized that it was presenting me with lists of validated searches that matched ALL the words I selected. This is a time saver, when trying to find the right combination of words that might yield useful results. Bob |
