Most of the time, the simple Google search helps you find the Web content you need. There will be other occasions, however, where your search is too broad and you need to narrow, or focus, your search. Focusing your search results in fewer matches, hopefully limiting the number of Web pages you need to explore in order to arrive at just the right information. Focusing your search can be accomplished using search operators - special Google commands that tell the search engine how to limit the search - using the Google Advanced Search, and using topic-specific searches. You can also search within your results, further narrowing the results.
