Google Search, the Right Way!

Google Search is simple, just type in a few words, press enter and Voila! You get thousands of results to choose from. What’s there to learn?

On July 25^th, 2008, the team at Google came out with an announcement that Google has reached the milestone of indexing one trillion unique URLs on the Web.

One Trillion = 1,000,000,000,000

i.e., if you check out each website for just one second, it would take you 31,709 Years to check all of the URLs.

Anyway it churns out a few thousand results for us to choose from for any query that we put in the search window. For a transcriber getting fast, accurate and relevant information is of essence, as he has to work within a limited turnaround time. To do so a transcriber needs to understand the basic structure of a Google Results page and learn a few tricks that will help to make his search efforts more fruitful.
