How To Search Internet Effectively With Search Tags in Search Engine

By John Bennet
It's not how much time you spent on the internet, but it's how efficiently/effectively you spend. Most often people waste time searching on google and other search engines for an accurate result but eventually end up with too many results including irrelevant results because whenever you search a word or phrase on google it would possibly list out millions of pages that contain the keyword that you are looking for, to know the actual information, you cannot go and look into millions of pages that were listed out.
To get rid of this, Google and other search engines like yahoo, MSN uses search operators or search commands for better search results.
