How good is your Google?

You probably Google every day but are you using the advanced features to get the most out of your search results? Here’s an easy way to get started down the path to better Google results. It’s given in the spirit of teaching you how to fish, rather than giving you the fish.

Run the following search on Google: file: pdf google cheat sheet

The “File:” command with the PDF file type will return results for Google Cheat Sheet PDF files. One of these is bound to be a good review of how to use the Advanced Search commands.

If you don’t find something of interest you could just go to:

OR

but that’s like just giving you a fish.
