Google tip for finding out how to do something

Thu May 4 14:02:01 2006 EDT (-0400 GMT)

There’s a whole web site dedicated to dealing with questions that should have been Google’d before they were asked: justfuckinggoogleit.com.

But sometimes it can be hard to find help on a subject through Google. Often if you search How to convert an audio file Google will tell you that how is too common and omit it, leaving you with nothing but ads etc.

What I’ve found helps is to stop Google from omitting how with this search +How convert audio file and even getting Google to look for convert and converting with +How convert~ audio file.

Those tips might help with your next search.
