Tips to Improve Your Search Results

SearchQB.com is not affiliated or partnered with Google in any way, but because we use the Google Custom Search program to provide search results and power this site, the search box on our site works the same way the search box on Google.com does. We recommend you take a look at these tips from Google to help expand, narrow, or refine your search.

Just to cover some basics though, if you have a set of keywords and want to find web pages that contain each of those keywords but in no particular order, just enter the words themselves. But if you are looking for a specific phrase, such as a name or a quote, you can enclose the words in quotations so that only results that contain that specific phrase will be returned. Also, as noted in our FAQ section, because SearchQB.com does not demote web pages just because pages from the same site already appear in the results, from time to time you may see that most of your results all come from the same web site. If you want to do the search again and exclude that web site from your results, simply add a -domain.com after your search keywords. For example, if you do a search for New England Patriots Scouting the results contain many pages from the web site Scout.com, because that web site contains many scouting reports about the Patriots. If these results do not contain what you were searching for, you can do the search again as New England Patriots Scouting -scout.com Now the results will not contain pages from Scout.com.


To help refine your results, it is also recommend to add unique keywords and remove common keywords when possible. If you are looking for information about when Florida Gators Safety Reggie Nelson was taken in the NFL draft, a search for Reggie Nelson drafted or Reggie Nelson NFL draft will likely contain better results than a search for Reggie Nelson. You may then want to add an exclusion to this particular search, like Reggie Nelson NFL draft -mock. Removing the word mock from your results will get rid of all the mock drafts done by various analysts and leave you with more relevant results. Searches with unspecific or too many keywords like what number and round was Reggie Nelson taken may not contain the best results- you may get results about the number Reggie Nelson wore in college instead of what you were searching for.
