• Be specific, if you are looking for information on red paper dolls, then type: red paper dolls not just paper dolls or dolls, because you will get more specific results to your search and less unrelated information.
• Use the + to add for better results, for example: +red +paper +dolls will result in finding pages with all three words in them first. Another example: +movie +dvd +bambie
• Use the - to subtract for better results, for example: dolls -ceramic -paper will find pages with dolls, but not ceramic or paper. Another example: windows -me -xp
• If you want results with words used together as you put them, then try quotation marks - for example: "ty beanie babies" will find pages that include the words in the order you specified first, instead of just having all the words somewhere in the results. Another example: "windows xp home edition"
• You can try a combination like: "ocean painting" -ship -beach or something like that, Another example: "usb mouse" -wireless (you get the idea, even though my examples are probably not as good as the ones you can think up.)

          These are general ideas that sometimes help, good luck and happy searching!
