Search engines - those sites that allegedly help you find what you want online - can cause no end of grief if you don't know some simple tricks that will vastly improve your search results.

Suppose you wanted to find information regarding 1954 Ford truck parts. Most people would search this subject by going to their favorite search engine and typing in 1954 Ford truck parts. The search engine would hopefully return results for sites that matched those keywords.

However, search engines usually also return results including sites containing only some of words in your search. So in this example you would also get sites not only about 1954 Ford truck parts, but on 1954 Fords, Ford trucks, truck parts, and trucks.

Virtually everyone knows frustration of typing keywords (the topic of your search) into a search engine, clicking search button, and then facing prospect of sorting through a million pages (literally) to find what you want.

For everyone experiencing search engine frustration, these suggestions should quickly improve your results.

Tip #1 - To aid you in searching more efficiently, most search engines allow surfers to perform "Boolean" searches.

This feature narrows results to only those websites containing all words specified, but not necessarily in exact order.

Well, that may hold true for traditional authors, but power of Internet makes it possible for more innovative authors to not only create books with compelling content, but to do it faster and easier than most ever dreamed possible.

Texas psychologist, Michael Wolf, Ph.D., represents a new breed of author who sees technology not only as a way to bypass traditional publishing and distribution channels that take years to bring books to market, but use Internet to actually gather main content for his book.

Understanding that many authors write in a vacuum about things that only seem relevant in their own lives, Dr. Wolf decided to let his audience help him write his books by sharing their specific stories with him through Internet.

His book series, called "One Lesson Learned," is currently in development at www.onelessonlearned.com.

These encouraging instructional books will contain personal stories from ordinary people who share an important lesson learned from their own life-changing experiences. These books will give both readers and contributors a chance to connect and make a positive impact on each others' lives.
