A couple of quick hints... Want to find an exact phrase? Use “ “ (talking marks !)

For example, searching for “Gavin Gamble” will only find those words shown together in that order.

Words that are commonly used, like 'the,' 'a,' and 'for,' are usually ignored (these are called stop words).

The * (asterix) or wildcard, is a little-known feature that can be very powerful. If you include * within a query, it tells Google to try to treat the star as a placeholder for any unknown term(s) and then find the best matches.

For example, search for explor* will bring up explorers, explored, exploring, explores.

Google uses synonyms - synonyms might replace some words in your original query.
