      <title>Using the '+' Operator</title>
      <para>
	Google, our search provider, will generally ignore common words 
	such as &quot;where&quot; and &quot;how,&quot; as well as certain 
	single digits and letters. Because these terms are so common, 
	they often slow down your search without improving your results.
      </para>
      <para>
	If one of these common words or characters is necessary to find 
	the results you want, you can include it by putting a &quot;+&quot; 
	sign at the beginning of the word.
      </para>

      <example>

	immediately in front of the term you want to avoid.
