Google Suggest: a keyword refinement tool
WELCOME TO the 250th edition of NetSpeak!
This week NetSpeak features a couple of services created for helping us refine our search queries to get more focused results from search services.
A major deficiency of current search engines is that many irrelevant sites creep into their output list. Of course, the real problem lies more with the user than with the search engine. Savvy netizens know well that for obtaining web pages with relevant content a searcher should be able to provide appropriate search string. The ability to arrive at keywords that neatly fit into one's requirements is an invaluable skill, which can be achieved by constant practice and intelligent use of the search refinement features available with a search engine.
