Cf. the advanced search options

A pretty, visual book. Each page has full colour screen shots of Google's pages. You might wonder at first, why? Don't you just use its main page? Well, that is the very point of this book. O'Hara shows how you can gain far more from Google. For example, the Directory Pages gives a top down format for data searching that mimics Yahoo's directories, that originally shot Yahoo to fame on the Internet. Plus, there is Google news. These are near real time news feeds from news organisations all over the world. Its greatest merit may be to expose you to alternative viewpoints; instead of just your regular newspapers. But potentially the most useful portion of the book concerns the advanced search options. Many never avail themselves of these. Which is a pity. The book shows a good understanding can be a tremendous force multiplier to your web searching. Well worth spending some time getting acquainted and facile with these options.
