How to enjoy this Use Simulator

Reference consists of Web search fundamentals , such as keywords and queries, Google screens, and Google search basics valid in most Google departments. The combination awakens you to your searching.

Finding answers about Google screens is now so simple that after a few seconds you'll happily move the mouse pointer over the screen elements in question and read comments appropriately popping up. You can explore even minute details of search forms or results pages. The pointer in the comment box indicates that the element is clickable, while the "jump" picture means that if you click the element, you'll be taken to a new window. The rest is very intuitive. Self-explanatory features are commented only someetimes, for the sake of consistency.

How to Use covers searches and researches. The Searches include commented examples of typical Google searches. Depending on what you are looking for, there is an optimal search for that.

Researches will be finished later. They are shown to invite feedback, that's all for now.

Foreword

At times you look for some information on the Web, you know it must be there, yet your usual keyword googling is futile. As when looking for a song's lyrics while not sure of words. Or trying to figure out when Rumsfeld met with Saddam.

How to find it? Turn to online help, or immerse into a 1000-page paper manual, or ask someone, or just give up your search? Answers about fine searching are scattered in books, forums, group archives, or search-inclined heads.

Did you know that you can easily find pizzerias, flower shops, parking lots around any location - both mapped and pictured; movie showtimes; flight status; or a hundred other things, using Google search features?

Use Simulator for Google Search tells you about that. Its two main purposes are:

• to make answers about Google Search screens and techniques readily available. The speed and ease of use are based on visuals and interactivity. Only what that cannot be shown is explained in words. If you wish to know more about Use Simulators, click around the www.usesimulator.com website.
• to improve and add to the inventory of search techniques by interaction with the searchers' community. You may come up with a better explanation, or a totally new contribution. Please use the Credits and Contact page for email. Very soon it will be made available to other people.

You are welcome to link to this website and make it available to your users.
