Here are quick tips to refine your searches:
1. to search within a particular website (from your google home-page), type the keyword to be searched for, followed by "site: www.mysite,com", without the quotes ;) . The site, 'mysite.com' will be searched for the keyword.
2. searching for definitions?, type "define: word", you'll be given links to all the available definitions of the word on the web.
3. to find a phrase, enclose it within " ", and the exact phrase will be searched for.
4. type a + sign before a keyword to search for that specific word only, and not it's variations like plural or any tenses or synonyms.
5. search with a ~ (tilde) before a word, and get results for the word, and it's synonyms. "~auto" searches for both the word auto and its synonyms: truck, car, etc.
6. search for "virus -computer" to get results for virus, but not related to computer.
7. "info: www.mysite.com" searches for information about the given site.
8. "related: www.mysite.com" searches for pages related to the given site.
9. " [#]...[#] ", ([#] represents a number) searches within a range of numbers, e.g. laptop Rs.30,000...60,000 to find laptops within this range.
10. xyz * abc searches for the words xyz and abc separated by a word or two.
