Use specifiers
Example: [Georgia population wikipedia]
Try an image search when normal means fail, you might find
something that will be useful or spark your interest in a different way.
Word order matters—when it’s not working one way, try another.
When searching for common phrases, don’t leave out the “stop
words.” (e.g., [ Lord of the Rings] )
Use double quotes to find a particular sequence of words
Example: “Daniel M Russell” or “Ursula K Le Guin”
