Nautilus acting up

[Ralf Mardorf]

First of all, use Google, even if you hate Google, since it provides

1. The best hits, especially to those who are inexperienced.
2. It provides samples, while you are typing.
   Startpage provides the same good results as Google, but without
   providing samples while you are typing

On the right bottom corner of Google's search engine, there's a
settings menu. It provides an "Advanced search" and "Search Help".

As Liam already pointed out, the most important you need to know, is
that strings, IOW words between quotation marks are one search term.

If you search for

  a b c

you'll get sites with a and/or b and/or c, if you use

  "a b c"

instead, you get more or less just sites including exactly "a b c",
putting a single word in quotes isn't required, it's already a string
without quotation marks. I usually use nothing else but quotes.

Learn and become smarter. IOW don't search for

  jackd

if you want to know about Linux's jackd, instead search for

  linux jackd

in the past Google provided a special Linux search engine, but they
seemingly dropped it. OTOH the search results don't became less good.

If you are not a Linux power user, even skim hits that don't fit to
what you wanted to get, they might help you to find better keywords.

Good sources often are links to "stackoverflow" or "wiki.archlinux" and
a few others. If you should speak several languages, it might be that
"https://wiki.ubuntu.com/foo" doesn't answer your question, but
"https://wiki.ubuntuusers.SOME_COUNTRY/foo" might provide better
information.

To google search terms you could add

  de
  com
  en
  org

etc.

This is just about research in regards to Linux. Google might censor, so
for some domains, you should use different search engines. It might
differ for different countries.
