Finding Better Results on Google

From Google Librarian comes a downloadable document that provides tips and tricks to help Google users get better search results. You may be familiar with some of these, like putting phrase in quotation marks to search on the exact phrase. But some of them were new to me. For example you can find the meaning of words by typing define: followed by the word you would like defined. You can search for web pages that link to a specific page by typing link: followed by the web address of the page you are interested in.

Check it out and try some of the searches!
