3. Google
few search techniques that can be used on Google.
 Get Specific With Quotes: quotes will help you narrow the focus of a search. For
example, if you use banana bread as your keywords Google shows you over 20
million results. If you enter "banana bread" using quotes you will get about 15
million results.
 Use the Minus Sign to Remove Words: If you put a minus sign in front of a word
Google will not return pages with content that matches this word in its results. Let's
say you want results for "Michael Jordan" but you don't want results for the
basketball player. Michael Jordan is a very popular celebrity so it is hard to remove
him from your results completely but if you use the minus sign it will help. If you
search "Michael Jordan -bulls -basketball" you can see that the basketball player
shows up much less in your results.

4. Google
 Use the Asterisk as a Wildcard: The asterisk acts like a wildcard in a search. This is
useful if do not know part of a phrase or you forget exactly how a word or name is
spelled. For example, onomatopoeia is a word that resembles the sound it describes. If
you use onomato* as your search you will get results that are very similar to actually
searching for the correct full word, onomatopoeia. This also works with phrases, such as
"An * keeps the doctor away."
 Calculations: Google also has a built-in calculator. You can enter a math equation like
15+25 or 18*2343 or 553/17 and Google will return the answer within a calculator that
appears in your results. It will also convert units and even graph equations.
 Definitions: Google also returns definitions. Use define: followed by the word you want
defined. For example, "define:perquisition" will provide the definition for perquisition.
You can also include wildcards. For example: define:onomato* will return the definition
for onomatopoeia.

5. Bing

6. Bing
Bing has many enviable features.
 Image search: Probably one of the most well-known advantages of Bing is
the image search, offering sharper and higher quality images in the results page.
 Video search: I know what you’re thinking. Google owns YouTube, so how could
Bing’s video search possibly be superior? It’s all in the display, and Bing have really
nailed it with their video search results. Presented as a grid of thumbnails, users can
watch videos without even leaving the SERPs(Search Engine Results Pages).

7. Bing
 Social media integration: When it comes to social media integration with the
SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages), Bing is the clear winner. It would have been
remiss of Bing not to take advantage of the deals between parent company
Microsoft and Facebook and Twitter. With more access to social data, Bing results
feature trending news from social media in the news search results.
 Overall look: There is a general consensus among search engine users that Bing
simply looks better. Although the main search results look very similar, other types
of searches such as news tend to fare considerably better in the Bing results.

8. Yahoo

9. Yahoo
 Admittedly not the sleekest search engine interface, Yahoo! still manages to
capture third place in our list, with just over 2% of the worldwide market share.
 Yahoo! is powered by Bing, so search results are incredibly similar between the two
search engines. However, it's still an important search engine in its own right, with
over 600 million total monthly users.

directly on Amazon’s results page with family tents.
