available on the web.

Effective Googling

entered in basic search box.
Automatically searches for some plural/singular and
grammatical variants.

You enter: Computer Peripherals
Google searches: Computer AND Peripherals

Capitalization
Search is not case sensitive

OR
E.g. Mahatma Gandhi
OR

The best way to begin searching harder with Google is by clicking
the Advanced Search link.

(http://www.google.com/advanced_search)

This lets you search for exact phrases, "all these words", or one of the
specified keywords by entering search terms into the appropriate box.

You can also define how many results you want on the page, what
language and what file type you're looking for, all with menus.

Advanced Search lets you type in a Top Level Domain (like .co.uk) in
the "Search within site of domain" box to restrict results.

PageRank
PageRank explained by Google:
Google interprets a link on page A going to page B as
a vote -- by page A, for page B. Google looks at more
than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page
receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote.
Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important"
weigh more heavily.
