Subject: Search engine tip for GOOGLE
Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2001 01:04:02 -0000

Those who use Google for searches may find it easier to use the following
version.
http://www.google.co.uk instead of the .com version and when searching in
the UK make sure you click the UK PAGES button and this will cut out a lot
of unwanted results.
The English place names are used quite a lot in the USA and Australasia and
using the UK PAGES button will also cut out the New Hampshire links as well.
If searching for pictures then when you have put your search in hit the
IMAGES button. This will display a load of images and some of them may not
have the same title you put in the search, BUT they are somehow linked to it
either via the subject matter or maybe someones name!!
We put in our surname HAYLES and found a lot of relations (!) we didn't know
existed, all colours and creeds, athletes, footballers and trans world
yachtsmen!! Could take us ages asking them all if they are related!! Let
alone if they have any family history to pass on to us!!
