Ok for example type into google, 'Islam'. You get 96,300,000 results. To make your results more accurate do this. ''Intitle:Islam'', then you get 3,410,000 results. Just a clever formula i wanted to share:)

jazakallahu khairan brother,

now letme share something aswell :coolbro:

if you type keywords with the + sign, then you can narrow your search down.

so for example, if you search "super mario 64" you'd get all sorts of results, some for just mario, some super somethingElse 64, or whatever. but search "super+mario+64" and you actually search for anything with "super mario 64" in the web document.

but search for something in quotation marks, and you get the exact match in the web document, so search for
"super mario 64" and you'll get results which has that exact phrase.

lastely,

if you use google often, then there's some "features" people odn't know about:
1) if you want to look up a definition, search define:word and word being the word you want definition for

2) if you want weather forecast, then type weather location
replacing location with your location or zip code

3) if you want to use a calculator, just search the equation so 2+2 would give you the answer 4

there's more but I can't remember them now..

as salamu alaikum

how come I get different results?

Results 1 - 11 of 11 for Intitle:Islam. (0.30 seconds)

Because you have used a formula that makes it more specific, so it will eliminate any results that don't refer to the subject you have entered directly.
