Most people use Google Search every day and accept the results that are presented. This is perfectly reasonable because the results are almost always accurate and fit the search term that has been inputted, but there are ways to improve your results. Google offers many tools that will let you search for images, locations and other non-text references with ease and even these can be expanded upon to let you find exact image sizes and the type of images you require. The Advanced Search option lets you specify more than one term and you can choose what to include and what to avoid, which should bring results that are as near to your requirements as possible.
The simplistic search page also lets you compare the prices of products, find books and apps, and jump to Google Maps if you need a particular location. For most tasks you will not need these tools, but for research and more serious undertakings they offer a lot of benefits and time savings which should prove useful to you. If you use the search tools wisely, you will have the ability to find anything in seconds, despite the fact that the internet is an immeasurably large place.
