Web Search Tips

1. Keep it simple.
   • Start with a simple search like president.
   • You can add more descriptive words later if you do not find what you are looking for.
2. Use web friendly words.
   • Search for words that are more likely to be used on a website.
   • For example, use tuition instead of price or charges
3. Don't worry about the little things.
   • Spelling is automatically checked by Google's spell checker.
   • Capitalization does not matter for searches.
   • Most punctuation is ignored when searching.
4. Restrict your search to a specific UF domain.
   • Restricting your search can return more relevant results.
   • For example, to return only links to the Office of the President website about President Fuchs you can search:
     fuchs site:president.ufl.edu
