A search expert at Google reveals 3 common mistakes that can prevent you from getting the best search results
But even if you use Google on a daily basis, you've probably struggled to find the result you're looking for on at least a few occasions. That's where Google's Daniel Russell comes in, who works as a senior research scientist for search quality and user happiness at the company.
Here's a look at the top three mistakes people make when conducting a Google search, according to Russell. One Google search usually isn't enough to become well-educated on a topic, says Russell, particularly if it's an issue that's complex or broad. Russell suggests performing at least two searches on a given subject to get a more comprehensive and complete view of the topic at hand.
Rather than typing in a query like"average length of an octopus 21 inches," you should just search for"average length of an octopus." Doing the former may prompt Google to pull up search results that list 21 inches as the answer even if it's not correct.

Google Launches ‘The Google’ For Older AdultsMOUNTAIN VIEW, CA—The popular search engine Google announced plans Friday to launch a new site, TheGoogle.com, to appeal to older adults not able to navigate the original website’s single text field and two clearly marked buttons. “The Google will have all the same information currently found on regular Google, but with the added features of not stealing your credit-card numbers or giving your computer all kinds of viruses,” said Rick Tillich, The Google project director. “All you have to do to turn the website on is put the little blinking line thing in the cyberspace window at the top of the screen, type ‘thegoogle.com,’ and press ‘return’—although it will also recognize http.wwwthegoogle.com, google.aol, and ‘THEGOOGLE’ typed into a Word document.” Tillich added that he hopes the site will soon replace Yahoo Internet Website.com as the most popular search engine for users over 55.
