| This
type of search will find pages from .edu's, .gov's and .org's which
can provide useful information and minimize the number of commercial

you can add .gov without quotation marks to your search string. |
| ex:
space astronaut .gov |

refine results or to include certain key words in a specific order
use quotation marks: |
ex: "small cell cancer" |
|
| To
find only current information simply add the year to your search string.
|
ex: "fall festival" 2003 |
|

the + symbol to find an assortment of words that might not be listed
together. |

+heater +ceramic +"remote control" |
