Tip:

If you are not satisfied with the relevancy of your search results, you may want to try using the advanced search feature available in many Internet Search tools.

For instance, the next time you use Google, a popular search engine, try its "Advanced Search" feature, which allows you, among other things, to specify where, within a page, your keywords must appear. You can also add specific limits to your search as language, occurrences and domain.
