Okay, I just published this blog post. What I'd like to do in this thread is cover some slightly more advanced stuff, and give you guys a spot to contribute contexts that you find helpful.
The first thing that's helpful to know is that all of Google's search operators are supported. You can use those to restrict your results to things that are actually relevant.
Example, which actually came from a customer:
Home Improvement context which does this business search:
"Lowes" OR "Home Depot" OR hardware -"Restoration Hardware"
This finds results from either of the two big home improvement chains; failing that, it falls back on a general search for a hardware store, but specifically excludes the chain that's not really a hardware store. :-)
Anyone got any other handy ones they use?
