Perhaps you might be using the wrong mix of keywords.
Here’s a guide on how to search this blog or practically almost any search engines such as Google, Yahoo!, AOL and MSN. A.K.A. Boolean Searching. Through the aid of WordPress’ Stat feature, I’ll be using the top Search Engine Terms in my blog as examples.
- pictures of planes taken at heritage park taguig >>> Quite a long string of keywords; just type in <heritage park AND plane>
- greenhills in abucay >>> No need to add the preposition “in”; not sure though what this person is looking for but he/she could have just simply typed in <abucay>
- army navy burger reviews >>> If you’re interested to know about Army Navy burgers, there’s no need to include the word “review/s”
- bruno mars is a filipino >>> If you want to confirm whether he is indeed Filipino, there’s no need to type in “is a”. Just type in <bruno mars AND filipino>
- photography of medicine >>> If you’re searching for a picture or shot of a medicine, there’s no need to include “photography of”.
I often use boolean searching when I search/pirate potential candidates for my job vacancies. Below are some helpful boolean operators which you may also find useful. Please note that not all operators are supported by all search engines. The boolean operators below works well with Google and/or Yahoo!
- AND >>> Used to connect two keywords. Simply typing in the words <glee songs> will give you a lot of search results since this will provide you anything about Glee and songs which may not be by Glee. To narrow your search, type in <glee AND songs>. alternative for AND is + sign.
- NOT >>> Used to remove unnecessary words
- “xxx” >>> Used to exactly search compound words. for example you are searching for Sue Sylvester. Simply typing <sue sylvester> might give you search results that include Sylvester Stalone. To avoid this, type in <”sue sylvester”> or you may use the operator NOT or – sign. For example, <sue sylvester -stalone>
These are just a few of the common boolean operators. To learn more, go back to your Google search field and type in <boolean>.
