The fact that Nancy has been teaching Internet novices is
apparent. She takes nothing for granted, and even includes tips on how
to navigate a Web page. More savvy users may skip those sections,
however, and focus on the practical examples and exercises. The absolutely best tutorial on how to use all of Google's potential. Easy to use, simple to navigate, this is a little jewel for both the novice and advanced search user. |

While the Google search instruction page is helpful, it's a rather
bare bones approach, and your guide fills in the gaps. ... By having
this tutorial available, you've saved folks lots of time trying to
explain the search process. I'm glad your guide is available now and
will recommend it to anyone new to the internet. I wish it had been
available 5 years ago when I was a newbie.

My Favorite Features
Google is so easy to use, why attend Nancy Blachman's presentations? If you're like many people, you use only a small number of Google's services and features. Learn how to go beyond Google's deceptively plain interface and take advantage of many shortcuts and underutilized capabilities. For example, get driving directions by entering a US street address into Google's search box. If you aren't sure whether a word is hyphenated, search for it with a hyphen, e.g., [ long-term ]; you'll get more results. Find synonyms by preceding the term with a ~, which is known as the tilde or synonym operator, e.g., [ google ~guide ] finds guides, tip, help, and tutorials on using Google. For a quick summary of some of Google's features, visit the Google Guide cheat sheet. The more you know about how Google works and its capabilities, the better it can serve your needs.
