Search Box Tricks
In the last twelve days or so, I’ve done a lot of searching for specific help
information on the net. I’ve discovered that one of the smartest tricks is to
put in Google: topic + tutorial. That is, for instance, I want to learn how
to set up and run a mail program called Mutt. So I enter in the search box;
Mutt + tutorial. Then I’ve got pages to read for a day or two. Or three and
four!
When I wanted to know how to fix a certain file called kmailrc, which seems to
contain key info for the KMail program,I put in kmailrc + troubleshooting. Not
nearly as much help, but some clues. Once I knew what else to look for, I had
new words for the search box.
If nothing else, I’m learning to be far more resourceful in my search for
specific information and training. You can too. Just don’t wait until you’re
desperate to discover these tricks.
