Google Search Tips (often applicable to other major search engines too)

    finds all entries containing company and telecommunication but not ISP
  • Include common words
    Example: Star Trek +1
    finds entries containing star and trek and 1 (which usually would be ignored as common word)
  • Phrase search
    Example “Franz Beckenbauer”
    finds entries containing the phrase written exactly like that
