How to Formulate a Good Search String?

Google uses AND logic for the queries by default. If you search "windowx xp tricks" google searches for pages containing windows AND xp AND tricks. you can put OR logic in the search box like this windows OR xp OR tricks. you can exclude some terms using "-" windows xp -installatin. you can group a set of terms by enclosing them in brackets. It is also possible to combine AND and OR operators. It may be noted that Google is not case sensitive regarding search strings. Windows, WINDOWS and windows produce the same results. However the operators such as AND and OR are case sensitive.
