How to search the internet like a pro

• Don't stick to just one search engine. Try out different ones such as Google, Bing and Yahoo to get a range of results.
• Always check the credibility of the websites you visit. Look at the author, publisher, and date of publication to make sure the information is up to date.  
• Don't just rely on the first page of results. Dig deeper and explore other pages to get more information and different perspectives.  
• Keep learning about new search techniques, tools, and resources to improve your search skills and get better results.

Here are some simple advanced search techniques:

• Use a tilde (~) to search for synonyms related to your search term. For example: ~maths-tutor to only get maths tutor results, rather than anything to do with ‘maths’ and/or ‘tutor’.
• Use two full stops (..) to search within a range of numbers. For example: Horror movies 1980..1990
• Use the word "location" to search for results in a specific location. For example: restaurants location:Perth  
• Use the star symbol (*) as a wildcard search to expand your search results. For example: * football to find anything football-related.  
• Use quotation marks (" ") for exact phrases. For example: "how to get rid of aphids". All results will have that search term in it.  
• Use "related:" to find similar websites to the one you are looking for. For example: related:abc.com.au
• Use OR to search for two or more terms simultaneously. For example: music OR songs will produce results for both terms, not just sites where both are used on the same site.  

Remember, the more specific you can be, the better your results can be. By following these tips, you can navigate through the vast sea of information and find what you need. Happy searching!
