There are also keywords like ADJ, NEAR etc. that are used by some of search engines. The NEAR operator looks for keywords specified in query within certain proximity of each other i.e. it makes sure that both keywords "web" & "hosting" are present on same page and are placed nearby to each other in text.

The ADJ operator is a stricter filter and returns only those pages where keywords are next to each other i.e. it will only return pages where keywords "web" and "hosting" are mentioned together.

Another technique to make sure you get better results is to use a sensible query. Make use of words that you think will be contained on site you are looking for: "web hosting" is better then "I want web hosting".

Also remember that search engines normally ignore certain words like "a', "for", "of", "in", "at" etc.

Another important thing to remember is that most search engines have a 'tips' page that specifically contains information on how to make better searches on search engine. It is always good to read these tips.

Most search engines have an advanced search option that is really useful if you are not proficient at using operators while searching.

Searching and finding what you are looking for is easy if you are armed with know-how of how to do it.

Before you grab your pitch fork and storm beast's castle, let me mention a few things you can do to bring a little control to your temporary internet files folder without destroying it completely.

Some opt to regularly clean out their temporary internet files folder - obviously this will eliminate malignant files and free up some space for your computer; but it will also eliminate files you may want. A quick note about files that begin with "Cookie:" - cleaning out folder will not actually delete cookies. The cookie files in temporary internet files folder are simple files that point browser to actual cookie in "Cookies" folder on your hard drive. If you are interested in truly purging your system of internet files, you'll need to clean out that folder as well.

In my view, most judicious option is to utilize available software to manage content of your temporary internet files. Some files you want because they make your life easier. Some files you don't want because it bogs down your computer and makes your grandmother blush. Software is available that scans your computer and finds all internet files (including cookies). The software makes recommendations as to whether file in question is good, bad, or ugly - all you have to do is decide to keep or trash it, then click appropriate button.

Temporary internet files can make our internet browsing time a quick and convenient experience. Unfortunately, they may also pose a risk to security of our hard drives. With a little hands-on management we can keep ourselves, our loved ones, and our computers happy, safe, and protected.
