3.6.1 Simple Search Query

Once you are at Google.com, you can just type the keywords that should be contained in the retrieved web pages. For example, you can search for ``best web browser'', and then google returns a list of webpages that contain the words ``best'', ``web'' and ``browser''. Google also displays portions of the text of each webpage so that you can see how the words are used.

This technique works in many cases, but there are certain cases in which it does not work well.

For example, let's say I want to find webpages that talks about golf clubs (as in sports equipment). A search of ``good golf club'' returns links to clubs (equipment) as well as clubs (social gathering).
