How do you Google?

I'm curious how members here on the forum use google. For example when you looking for information.

 

Do you

type coherent sentences.

 

or

 

Do you

type the keywords that you are looking for.

 

For example

'How to fix a bicycle wheel'

vs

' fix bicycle wheel'

 

I'm asking because I've seen people type paragraphs into google expecting to find anything.

 

BTW I'm the second option. 

 

Which one are you ?

I treat it like tags. Sometimes I write a sentence if it's common.

I just keep typing in random tripe until I get the results I want.

"Life is like a raging river, Its gonna get rough downstream. And people's gonna piss in it" 

"Who discovered we could get milk from cows, and what did he THINK he was doing at the time?"

Both. For instance, I wouldn't search for "Should I use Google Chrome or Firefox for faster browsing" I would put "Chrome vs Firefox speed test"

a little of both, If it is something i think would be titled the way i would ask it as a question i will use a short question but if it is something that i'm not really sure would be worded the same way i tend to just to keywords

Depends on what I'm searching for.....

 

If it's an error I'm getting I search the entire error...

 

If it's a random search only keywords 

 

 

My uncle googles every single website he wants to go to.  He's convinced it's the only way to get to hotmail is to google 'www.hotmail.com'

I always search full sentences as long as not longer than 9 words, and I have never NOT, with my 18 years, found what I was looking for right away.

Well good for you.
