How to Search information on Google com How to use Google Search Engine and get Better results

You must have used Google search in an effort to get information on a particular topic of interest.Google search engine (google.com) is the most popular  search engine on the web. With Billions of information and key words stored on a variety of topics,it sometime makes it challenging getting the what we need. This is because information is published on the web in various formats such as text,documents,videos , images and others.   Google uses special algorithm to generate search results making it easy  to find the information you need on the web.One of the most important thing to consider when using a search engine is using the right key words.  Here is a guide to improve your get better search results. We shall  play some tricks with keywords and also use the different google search subdomains to better our search results.

                        Matching Key words to get Search Results

 

>

Sometimes we complain of too much information when we search on Google and end up confused as we keep navigating from one page to another.

Searching information in a wide range

Take for example someone who wants to buy a mobile phone. key words like; mobile phones for sale, phones for sale, buy mobile phones and more will display the various pages(websites)  selling or talking about mobile phones for sale. This term is what is referred to as broad match. With the broad match search, are displayed results including related information to your key word. For our example above on phones; the keywords mobile phones for sale

 Will show results for smart phones ,tablets, used phones, sim cards among others will be displayed in search results. This is a very important aspect in getting results with Google adwords.

Redefining your search by making use  of the broad match modifier.

To avoid  synonyms from appearing on your search results,use the + sign infront of your key word. The key word  +mobile phones for sale will display more results for mobile phones and mobile phones related products.

Search with quotes(‘’ mobile phones for sale’’) and  square brackets([mobile phones for sale])

Adding anyone of this to your keywords when searching on Google will display results specific or close to your keywords. You can check out the screen shot to see more or just try with a keyword you have in mind.

What about adding –to a phrase?

I found out that adding negative to your search phrase show results different from the other phrases mentioned above. For example searching with -mobile phones for sale showed results for  phones ,phones for sale, phone repairs ,companies advertising phones among others in on the first page. This will not really help when you want to do a search. But it is worth trying though.

Ad word users can make good use of it.

You can also use this trick with single keywords like phones, money and more.

However, I found out that these tricks work well with phrases.  When I tried,-phones. No result was display. Can advertisers make use of this on ad words?

     Using serach subdomain

You can also improve your search results by making use of the sub domains below
1. To search for videos type videos.google.com on your browser and enter your key words.
2. To search for images type images,google.com
3. To search for news,type news.google.com
5.  To search for products available for online shopping, type shopping.google.com and search
6. Type books.google.com when you want to search books.
7. To search for a location  for example Bamenda, type maps.google.com. you can also use this sub domain to fine places like hotels,businesses around your town.
8. To Search information about flights , type flights.google.com
9.To search apps on your mobile phone, Go to  www. play.google.com
10. To search for apps and  software    and games for your computer go to  

chrome.google.com/webstore

 How else do you think users can improve their search results on Google?

Agriculture Green House setting a better future for Africans

Green house Farming

For many people especially those in the Western world, Africa is synonymous with diseases, wars, conflicts and famine. We are a continent programmed to be at war with itself. Our ignorance is a fuel to our misfortunes. Our greed is a catalyst to our disintegration. The original BUSINESS PLAN that was written on Africa has been very effective and continuous to be. This is why Africa and Africans continue to live in the bubble.
To be FREE, we must start asking relevant questions and implementing sustainable solutions. So, therefore:
- Ask why Africa alone has more charitable organizations than any other continent in the world, yet we are worst than we were before independence;
- Ask why over a trillion dollars has come to Africa in AID yet Africa is still sick and poor – ?#?DambisaMoyo is criticized over her book, “Dead Aid”;
- Ask why the first University was in Africa yet the African education curriculum is almost obsolete – why does brain drain continue to exist;
- Ask why General education graduates make up over 60% of the unemployed population in Africa yet General education is still preferred over Technical /Vocation Training schools in Africa;
- Ask why the old and original books written in Africa and by Africans have been paraphrased and then burnt;
- Ask why we continue to give away our natural resources and prefer to buy/ import the finished products;
- Ask why the African immigrant population is the most educated in the West yet Africa still remains largely underdeveloped;
- Ask why most African countries do not own their currencies and have no reserve banks despite the wealth that resides in it;
- Ask why the West introduced Christianity yet all its “Prophets” live and reside in Africa;
- Ask why the number of Christians in Africa is doubling while the West is facing a steep decline of same;
- Ask why there are more churches in Africa than there are vocational schools;
- Ask why the so-called GLOBAL Malaria eradication campaign in 1952 not include Africa? Then ask about the origin of diseases like HIV/AIDS, Ebola etc;
- Ask why they will spend over a trillion dollars to cure an illness rather than spend a thousand dollars to prevent the same illness;
- Ask why the xenophobia is frequent in Africa – why we do hate ourselves and envy our kind but quick to love others even blindly;
Ask why they did it to Mohamed Boudiaf(Algeria), Melchoir Ndadaye(Burundi), Um Nyobe (Cameroon), Francois Tombalbaye (Chad) , Ahmed Abdallah (Comoros), Marien Ngouabi(Congo), Gaddafi (Libya), Patrice Lumumba (Kinshasa), Robert Guei (Ivory Coast), Sadat (Egypt), Amilcar Cabral (Guinea), Ratsimandrava (Madagascar), Eduardo(Mozambique), Mainassara (Niger), Ahmadu Bello, Akintola, Fajuyi, Saro Wiwa, Murtala (Nigeria), Abdirashid (Somalia), Steve Biko(S. Africa), Karume(Zanzibar), Olympio(Togo), Luther King(USA), Tupac(USA), Notorious BIG (USA) and even JF Kennedy (USA)
- Ask why the unity of Africa is somewhat practically impossible nowadays?
?#?Africans were born FREE, our continent was DIVIDED UP, our countries were COLONIZED, our leaders were NEOCOLONIZED and now our minds are going through RECOLONIZATION – we must balance the equation to invite CHANGE...
- Ask why over 60% of Africans are farmers yet no Africans own the largest farms;
- Ask why over 60% of Africans are farmers but the same farmers are the poor, hungry, malnourished;
- Ask why these greenhouses have existed for over 500 years but Africa and Africans are only feeling them now.
Agriculture is the only thing we know and will do best – that’s why slavery existed in the first place. Agriculture is the only platform through which Africa can gain UNITY.
Oh my Africa!!! Ohhh my Africans!!! The problem is not the government, not our colonial masters, not the religion but our MINDSETS – the NECROTIC process at play. We must employ intuition over intelligence and then develop sustainable solutions to our crisis so as to balance this equation.
My plans are simple and practical:
• In 2013 I introduced and tested the affordable greenhouses in Cameroon;
• In 2014 I experimented with and grew a wide variety of produce and then established a sustainable B-model;
• In 2015 I have introduced the locally made drip irrigation system and established a one-stop shop platform; the GreenHouse Academy and GreenHouse Cooperative;
• By 2017, well create agriculture communities in target areas and engage in the production of a variety of crops for target markets.
• By 2018 the GreenHouse curriculum becomes embedded in the education system of Cameroon; the GreenHouse Cooperative becomes the new Marketing Board; GreenHouse Asset Management becomes the new investment platform for Cameroonians at home and abroad; Greenhouse products make it on every shelf; the GHV brand and model becomes emulated in other countries;
• By 2020 we must have deployed over 3000greenhouses; collaborated with over 200 vocational & technical schools; trained and graduated over 6000 students; engaged over 1000 Cameroonians on my investment platform; established a transformation unit to transform, bottle and package any excesses;
• By 2025 these affordable greenhouse are all over West Africa; unemployment is reduced by 17% in Cameroon; sustainable agriculture is achieved and Cameroon becomes a major producer, consumer and exporter of a variety of produce from these greenhouses.
• By 2050, the world’s population reaches 9 billion and Africa should be self-sustainable and will feed the rest of the world. Africa will begin to see and feel UNITY.
The colonial masters and missionaries started with a business plan. I have done same. And, as long as I am alive, I KNOW THERE IS HOPE FOR MY FAMILY, MY VILLAGE, MY COUNTRY, MY CONTINENT AND THE WORLD AT LARGE.
If this is my purpose in this life then you have a purpose too.

The company recently introduced new members in its Vibe lineup dubbed as Vibe S1 and Vibe P1. Both new phones feature incredible innards at the same price bracket. They boast an enticing package at a great price bracket and go straight against the likes of players like OnePlus X and Xiaomi Mi4.

That being said, the only question many of our readers have is, which is one is the better option to choose from? 

 With identical prices, Lenovo vibe S1 and Vibe P1 both look fairly impressive, and offer a perfect combo of smooth and glitch-free performance. They do create some serious confusions, but our detailed comparison would certainly help you in making the right the choice. Have a look to know more!

Lenovo vibe S1                     

  Design Language 

Lenovo vibe p1

The design language of Lenovo Vibe S1 and Vibe P1 is simply impeccable. Both phones flaunt a sassy look, but they are totally different from one another. The new Vibe P1, at the first place, boasts a beautifully crafted metal body and gives reminiscence of the famous HTC One series. The device includes a fingerprint sensor for enhanced security, and is barely 9.9mm thick and 187 grams heavy. It looks very sturdy and has a subtle touch of class as well!

The new Vibe S1, on the other hand, looks very elegant, sleek, and compact. The premium looking device features a metal unibody construction and boasts a sturdy metal frame with a beautifully crafted curved-glass panel on the rear. It includes diamond cut chamfered edges and looks absolutely stunning from all angles. Its glossy finish and non-backlit capacitive buttons are small disappointments, but on whole, the entire package looks extremely alluring!

Display Quality

As far as visual experience is concerned, apart from design, there is hardly anything different between Lenovo Vibe S1 and Vibe P1. Both metal-built devices feature full-HD display panels protected by Gorilla Glass 3, and deliver a crisp and vivid viewing experience. They pack enhanced pixel density with viewing angles up to 180 degrees, and produce true-to-life images even bright sunlight. You can enjoy games and movies at their very best with both these phones!

Hardware and Performance

The innards of Lenovo Vibe S1 and Vibe P1 are completely different. The sturdy Vibe P1 powers up by an octa-core Snapdragon 615 SoC clocked at 1.5GHz, while its sassy counterpart houses an octa-core MediaTek MT6752 chip tickling at 1.7GHz. They both belong to different genres, but their performance remains right on the mark. You’ll not witness any lag or stutter, and will get a perfect user-experience on both phones. Although additional 1GB RAM on Vibe P1 is a plus side for gamers and high-end users, 2GB on Vibe S1 will also perform pretty smoothly even on high-end usage!

           Software

The operating system of Vibe S1 and P1 is pretty slick and user-friendly. Both phones run the latest version of Android with a layer of Lenovo’s highly customized Vibe UI on the top. The feature-rich UI of both phones includes a bunch of elements like secure zone, double tap to wake, and apps like, Evernote, SHAREit, SYNCit, WeChat, Truecaller, and Guvera Music. Several under-the-hood improvements have made Vibe UI faster, lighter, and more efficient than Stock Android. It brings a complete makeover and runs all your favorite Google apps with perfection!

                Camera Setup

    Lenovo Vibe S1

Here comes the biggest difference between Vibe S1 and P1. The duo camera setup of Vibe S1 looks like a better choice over the standard 5MP secondary shooter of Vibe P1. The camera app of both phones is clutter-free and the rear camera is geared with a 13-megapixel sensor with auto-focus, fast-focus PDFA technology, and dual-tone LED flash. They deliver crisp and vibrant images even in dark environments and perform far better than standard 13-megapixel shooters.

As far as the front camera concerned, the first-ever duo-camera setup of Vibe S1 performs far better than the 5MP unit featured on Vibe P1. The 8MP front-facing camera of Vibe S1 with f/2.2 aperture and BSI sensor gives you crisp selfies and is perfectly supported by the additional 2MP camera, which analyzes depth of field to give bright and lifelike images in all environments. It gives you unprecedented creative options with added features and retains natural color tones even dull and ambient light.

Battery Backup

The battery backup offered by Vibe S1 and Vibe P1 creates one of the biggest line of difference between the two phones. The sleek, elegant and compact Lenovo Vibe S1 houses a decent 2,420 mAh battery, and offers sufficient amount of charge for an entire day of standard usage. However, its counterpart Vibe P1 fuels up by a massive 4900mAh battery and makes up a perfect package for on-the-go users. The battery of this handset will give more than enough juice to keep things up and running even on heaviest usage.

Price

To everyone’s surprise, Lenovo Vibe S1 and Vibe P1 both are available at the same price tag of Rs, 15,999. Vibe S1 is available exclusively via Amazon.in, while Vibe P1 is rolling via its arch rival Flipkart.com. Both phones come bundled with a slew of offers, and take on the likes of devices like OnePlus X, Moto X Play, and ZenFone Selfie.

Final Verdict

To sum things up, we can say, both phones offer an ultimate package for the buyers. If you’re looking for a sassy phone with an impeccable front-facing camera, go with Lenovo Vibe S1, else if you’re looking for top-tier performance with long-lasting battery backup, try out the powerful Vibe P1. The device looks sturdy and spectacular, and has everything on board to cater all your needs with perfection!

You can play around with either of these phones, and can explore a perfect user-experience without any lags, stutters, or thermal issues. They look very impressive and deliver outstanding performance, for which Lenovo is known since years!
