How do you search? Are you a straightforward type or do you get "fancy"?

I use Google most often. I guess because I'm used to it. My son just asked me if I used "Boolean" with my searches to get better results. Well for Pete's sake, something else for me to learn now. I can use quotation marks, the words "and" plus "or" now. So what search engine do you use and do you get fancy with your searches?

I do try to be specific, and using Boolean searches is the easy way to do this.
The term Boolean simply refers to the process of searching using + or OR to make the search a little more accurate. If you are looking for tutorials on Microsoft Excel for example, you could use excel+tutorial to avoid having lists of inappropriate sites.

This is the search engine I use. All you do is type a short question and the results are great.
