Yahoo! Search Tips

As we had mentioned earlier how we should search Google, now we share the tips to search Yahoo!

By default, the Search results returns only pages that include all of your search terms. If you wish to improve the search result, below are some tips which you can refer.

Including Words: To include words, just type a plus sign + in front of each one. For example, if you wish to search "superman brandon routh", you just need to add a "+" infront of your search queries. "superman +brandon routh" , the results superman christopher reeve will not appear

Excluding Words: To exclude words, type a minus sign - in front of them. For example, if you want to see pages about "superman" but with no mention of "Brandon routh", you can just add a "-" in your search query.Eg. "superman -Brandon Routh"

Either/Or

Word Order
To search for an exact phrase, just put quotation marks around two or more words. For example, search on "Christopher Reeve"
