 1.       Use Quotations.  Simply putting quotations around your search terms can really help eliminate some unwanted results. This is especially helpful when searching for groups of words such as a title of book, song or movie. It’s also handy in searching for names of business or organizations.

 2.       Use a minus sign ( – ) before words you don’t want to turn up in the result. For instances let’s say you’re searching for restaurants but you don’t want McDonalds to show up. Just put restaurants –McDonalds . be sure to put it right before the first letter with no spaces.
a.       Example ( fast food  -McDonalds )

a.       Example ( site:www.cnn.com Gulf Coast Oil Spill )
