Marathon: 5th of 15 parts

Google-Fu

As I understand the term, Google-Fu refers to the skill/ability to find what one needs using Google, the most famous Internet search engine (http://www.langmaker.com/db/Eng_googlefu.htm). Yes, most of us know how to use Google, especially those who are reading this! But to optimize the tool, we should know how it works; we should use advanced functions and queries, so as to pinpoint/narrow the search results (for greater precision and accuracy).

If you are not a born natural (not good) at what you currently do, a good Google-Fu might just supplement your skills and knowledge. If you don't know, most of the assignments I did in my 3rd and 4th years in college involved using the Internet. I know that many of us will enjoy the benefits of being able to find what we need online.
