Question for google experts

PCNewbie · 06-06-2004, 06:57 AM

I cannot explain very well so I will just give an example:

If I want to search for:

"I like to eat hamburgers" OR "I like to eat fries" OR "I like to eat fried chicken" OR "I like to eat ice cream"

ALL in the one search, how do I shorten it??? "I like to eat" is common in each of the quotes, so how do I do this. I come across this problem a lot with google searching.

Also, "clean content" counts like actual text, and images don't, but do ALT tags count in google searches?

Also, unrelated but for OPERA USERS, how do you stop it from automatically going to the transfers window when I download a file??? I want to download multiple files from one page and it keeps going to the transfers window and I have to keep going back. I searched the Opera help files no luck.

Here's a google page that you should find very helpful

I use the tilde sign ("~") a lot. It really helps me find what I am looking for pretty fast

As far as shortening your "I like to eat hamburgers" .... how about just Hamburgers

Funny how Wendy's comes up first THEN the History of Hamburgers

actually try this
http://www.google.com/help/refinesearch.html

give deffinitions of terms for google.

OR... do this, go to the advance search on google's site:
http://www.google.com/advanced_searc...off&as_qdr=all

all you do is fill in the blanks

have fun!
