Am I doing searches right?

whenever I'm on a search engine if I'm searching with multiple criteria I search like this:

Prince.org+Sheil E

Well this brings up all kinds of references to Prince and Sheila E and maybe a few of Prince.org.

Is this the only way to do a search or are there other ways of scaling down the search to be more specific other than using the + sign?

As well as this you can also do a Boolean search. Use the terms, OR, AND, NOT.

e.g Woody Allen OR MIA Farrow = the search result will include either one or the other or both terms.

London AND Hotels = The search results will include both terms.

Dogs NOT Poodles = Search result will exclude poodles.

Hope that helps!

I think we should just put you in a ring and sell bitchslap tickets. We'd sell out for sure. Of course you could fight back and that's part of the allure.

Oh and I'd play my radio show in the background for you enjoyment. Hell, I'd broadcast that shit!
