Get more out of Google with a few tricks:

• Use quotation marks to search an exact term. Example: "nervous system" will provide results with those two words in that exact order.
• Use the minus sign to exclude a term. Example: to eliminate results about animals, "nervous system" -animals will leave out results with the term "animals."
• Search a specific domain using site: followed by the domain after your keyword. Example: "nervous system" site:.edu will provide results only from academic institutions.
