ok, I feel computer dumb but how do you do specific Google Searches.  Am I suppose to put what I'm searching for in quotations.  Right now I'm just typing in the name and then I get a ton of web sites that all have parts of the name in it, but not together.  I don't get it.

Google also has the search and then the "I'm feeling lucky" search or something like that.  I don't get that either!!  HELP!

Google has way to many options to explain in a short e-mail.  However, I think that this link well put you on your way to being an expert:

Hope this helps!

I always use the advanced search, enter whatever I want to search for, then enter the domain in the "return results from the site or domain" window. Just type in the name of the website. Then you only search the website you want.

My favorite web page is   //www.refdesk.com  there is so much there and they have the gooogle search engine, plus more than you can ask for, I have found nothing to match it.  You and anyone you know can spend days on there.

Thanks Matt Drudge for turning me on to it.
