? If interested in finding one or more words, use the term OR between your key words. Example: "free resumes" AND java OR oracle OR php
? If looking for resumes that have a specific word with multiple possible endings such as: manager, management, managed, use an asterisk at the end of the base word. Example: manage* This will pull websites with all of the words that start with that base word.
? If searching for specific titles, type the word title: and then fill in the title of choice. Example: title: free resumes. This will pull websites with the words Free Resumes in the html title.
? If looking for URLs that have the word resume in the URL address, type the command URL: resume.
