Google Tips and Tricks

3. How does GoogleTM work?
Web servers: There’s actually more than 100 of these around the country. Which is one of the reasons why Google moves so quickly.
Index Servers & Doc servers: There’s also redundancy built into the index and doc servers so the millions of people hitting Google at the same time don’t bog it down.

4. General Tips GoogleTM defaults to an “AND” Boolean search
To force a common word to be included in the search use +word or “your search phrase”
OR is still “OR”
For “NOT” try a “-”
For synonyms try “~”
Not: -
Synonym: ~
Or: OR
“I’m Feeling Lucky” takes you directly to the first web page Google returned for your query
