 * '''Keyboard Shortcuts:''' Keyboard shortcuts will quickly improve your productivity. CTRL+C is the shortcut to copy highlighted text. CTRL+V is the shortcut to paste. CTRL+F is the shortcut to find text on a given webpage. CTRL+X is the shortcut to cut highlighted material, both copying it and removing it from its current location. CTRL+A is the shortcut to highlight all material, useful with the CTRL+C shortcut for copying large amounts of material. CTRL+Z is the shortcut to undo your last action. CTRL+Y is the shortcut to redo an action. These 7 in particular are extremely useful.
 * '''Google News:''' If you go to Google.com and look on the left side of the screen, you'll notice there is a section called "News" that lets you search Google's News database.[http://www.google.com/search?q=senate#q=senate&hl=en&safe=off&prmd=imvnsu&source=lnms&tbm=nws] But the search can be even more useful. You can search within a given date range by going to the left side and looking for the "Any Time" section. You can search within the past hour, past 24 hours, past week, past month, archives (specific years), or even a custom range that you set. This can be extremely useful for finding news sources quickly and easily.[http://www.google.com/search?q=senate&hl=en&safe=off&biw=1024&bih=677&prmd=imvnsu&sa=X&ei=70AXUOmAPIK09QSvgYHoDg&ved=0CCsQpwUoCg&source=lnt&tbs=cdr%3A1%2Ccd_min%3A12%2F1%2F2009%2Ccd_max%3A1%2F1%2F2010&tbm=nws]
-* '''Google Search:''' As a general rule, the more specific and rare your search terms are, while still being applicable, the better your results will be. Use quotation marks (for example, "the Zambrano Report") around words to search for a specific phrase that you're sure will be in the search results you want. Use a minus sign in front of a word or phrase (for example, -Pelosi) to exclude it from search results. If your search results are providing numerous references to something you don't want, put a minus sign in front of a word or phrase that applies to the material you don't want, to narrow the search down to your desired material.

There are different ways you can start a search more quickly too. Some browsers like Google Chrome now let you type search terms into the web address bar at the top and search instantly this way. Other browsers will have toolbars you can install that place search boxes in the top right of your screen, so that you can type search terms there and press enter to run a search at any time.
