Q&A for How to Search the Internet

Keywords allow you to get more specific results. If you simply typed in your question, you might get some results that are completely unrelated to what you are looking for.

An email is an address where you can receive mail to electronically instead of getting letters the old-fashioned way through the post office. Simply find an email provider you like (Google is a popular one), sign up, create an email you like, and then you can send emails to others and receive them yourself.

Google.com and Bing.com are two of the most popular search engines. If you want others, do a search for other search engines.

Sometimes this will happen and you have to scroll through some unrelated responses to find what you're looking for. Try to include as many details as possible. For example, if you're looking for a book title, instead of searching "Herman Melville book," searching "Herman Melville book about a whale" will get you a more precise response.

You might be seeing results related to your wife's social media connections, such as friends on platforms like Facebook. Another possibility is that the results belong to a different person who shares the same name as your wife.

Enter the person's name in quotes ("Joe Smith") in a search engine to better limit results to that specific person rather than those with either that first or last name in their names, and add in the person's location. You can also do a search on social media platforms in a similar fashion.

You may often encounter some unrelated items in search results. To minimize these, try to be as specific as possible by using precise keywords in your search.
