Tricks to Use with Web Search Portals

Tired of the same old sites at the top of the results of many web searches? Here's a trick to use to get some different results.

Start with just a few words describing what you are search for. Remove all of the spaces, punctuation and capitalization, and then search for those words, all run together. The reason that this works so well is many users are tagging sites with tags that consist of simply a string of characters.

For example, if you are searching for Penn & Teller: Bullshit! remove the spaces, punctuation and capitalization, and simply search for penntellerbullshit.

Try it!
