GOOGLE - Taking over the world!
Searching on Google
Most use Google in its simplest form. We tend to start typing a word we aren't sure of the spelling or the new movie in theaters for their local playing times, and all of our answers begin to pop up. Google is more than just that!! By using Google Operators and One Box Search Queries, we are able to access further information, gain answers quicker, and be more productive with our searches.
