I have therefore created this quick reference guide in order to show you the true power of Google when you know how to really search.

Things you should know
1. Repeat your search process. Refine your search by reusing terms from your first search results. Use synonyms to reformulate your search. Make a clear difference between subject headings and keywords search. Do not limit your search to Google ( Google indexes only 20% of the web). Broaden your horizon and visit also metasearch engines ( http://www.dmoz.org/ Computers/Internet/Searching/Metasearch/ ). Stop words : common words like to, and, how, by are not indexed by Google. It makes no sense to add them in the query. The order of the words in your query is important. The query is limited to 32 words (stop words not included) . Plurals of words are taken into account. Preview your results prior to open it in order to view where your search terms is located in the page. To preview your results in Google, click on the Search operators are case sensitive (OR and not or). Use google.com instead of your country specific Google.
