and millions more use it for entertainment. But most people may not be using Google search

tabs. Usually you will see Web, Image, News, and More. Using these tabs, you can help define
what kind of search you need to do. If you need images, use the Image tab. If you are looking
for a recent news article, use the News tab.

It is simple and most people use the tabs already. If you are not, then it is highly
recommended to get associated with them. They can cut search times dramatically if utilized
properly.

Use quotes

When searching for something specific, try using quotes to minimize the guesswork for
Google search. When you put your search parameters in quotes, it tells the search engine to
search for the whole phrase.

For instance, if you search data science and analytics courses, the engine will search for
content that contains those three words in any order.
