A couple of guides to start out.

For those of you who don't want to waste time trying to search Google on how to use the search engine, here are a couple of links to get you started. The examples should help you understand how each statement or operator works.

The Ultimate Google Guide Site!

www.googleguide.com

This site really is the greatest when it comes to using anything Google. This baby is about the size of a book, but don't let that scare you away. It has three different modes to view the site in. These are Novices, Experts, and Teens. Also the built in search engine will help you find exactly what your looking for even faster! I recommend this site to everyone and give it an A+.
