Did you know when you are using a web browser you don’t have to type "http://www" in the address bar?  Just type the remainder of the address and it will put the beginning in for you.  For example, just type “zetaone.com” or “msnbc.msn.com”

Get what you want out of your searches too.  When you enter information in the search bar, you can enter them in either UPPERCASE or lowercase and you will get the same result, but the best practice is to enter them all in lowercase.  
If you want to search for an exact match, type the words in double quotation marks.  For example to search for Michigan Legislative Branch, type as: “Michigan Legislative Branch”

If you want to search for all words you enter use + sign between words.  For example to search for Drive-in Movies, type as: drive+in+movies

Always avoid using “and” and “or” with keywords because those words will affect the search results.

There is an abundance of information on the World Wide Web and I’m sure these tips will help you find what you’re looking for.
