Someone talk me through using search engines?

The handful of tricks that cover most of it: - quote marks for an exact phrase - a minus sign to drop a word, e.g. jaguar -car - site: to search one website, e.g. site:bbc.co.uk budget - filetype:pdf when you want documents - Tools under the search box to limit results to the past week or year The bigger one is wording. Search with the words the answer would use, not your question. 'printer offline fix windows 11' gets better results than 'why does my printer keep saying it's offline'.
