Google has done a terrific job in search industry by introducing their search engine years ago.
Today, It is no doubt the most powerful search engine.
We can simply search Google by writing the words we want to know about and that's it. We eventually find something useful and we smile back at that very dumb screen with utter satisfaction and a feeling of Great we got what we needed.
Have you ever noticed the how much amount of our precious time you waste by doing this?
We need to be a little more sophisticated while search through Google.One great soltuion is using operators to get quality result not quantity results.
