Hi GeorgeUnfortunately I don't speak French but I am learning it slowly but I can recognise enough to find my way around the websites.The reason I need to find suppliers in France is because shipping from the UK can be the same price as the goods themselves, I.e. a 2 gb flash drive was going to cost me £6.29 and £6 pnp, there must be places over here where I can get the same products.Regards Adrien You can get me off list at adriencollins06@xxxxxxx Speakon is a free fully self-voicing accessible multimedia program for the visually impaired, find out more by downloading the software from: http://www.a-technic.net/speakon.htm You can join the speakon user group by sending a blank e-mail to: speakon-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx----- Original Message ----- From: "George Bell" <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, November 11, 2007 3:52 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: searches in google Hi Adrian, Just covered this topic on the JAWS-UK list yesterday. In this instance, I've a suggestion, and some tips. 1) If you speak French, go to http://www.google.fr and after you have entered the search string, and before you press "Recherche Google", make sure you check one of the radio buttons - either "Pages francophones" or "Pages : France" - which is much the same as checking the UK's "Pages from the UK" button. You will still get a bunch of dot coms, but at least it will narrow things down considerably. 2) If you wish to include a word in a search, put a + (plus sign) unspaced in front of the word. If you wish to exclude a word, put a - (minus sign) unspaced in front of the word. For example: -Adrian +Collins would return results containing "Collins", but none of the results would contain "Adrian". My next favourite tip is to include specific phrases in quotation marks. So if I was to look for:- "Adrian Collins" then those two words would have to appear exactly as shown. Otherwise without the quotes it could also find things like, "Adrian had a last name of Collins" And you can also put the + (plus) and - (minus) signs in front of quotes as well, for example +"George Bell" -Freelists would bring up only results which included "George Bell" but would omit any which contained "Freelists". Hope this helps you narrow down your results. George. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Adrien Collins Sent: Sunday, November 11, 2007 2:24 PM To: access uk Subject: [access-uk] searches in google Hi Please can somebody tell me how to narrow down a search in google, for example, if I'm looking for something only in France and not anywhere else. What do I have to do to narrow a search down? I am trying to find suppliers of pc accessories in France only and I don't want suppliers all over the world to appear on my searches.
