Tips--- "too many pages listed!"

If the list of "Pages" you get back on your search results is a LONG List, only bother with the top 3 pages on the list and pick the page with the best description.

Tips--- "searching for email address
1.   When searching for a Email Address, The Leave off the ".com" or ".net",  If you put in Bobjones@AOL.com, You will get every address that ends with ".COM" because the period makes the search engine think "com" is a separate word. So bobjones@aol is a better search word.

2. BUT, the above will also give you every person who's email address ends in "@aol" because the "@" makes the search engine think that AOL is a word. So, to really narrow it down, just put in "BOBJONES"
