Are you asking because you are now living in France? I see Amazon have a French site and sell these, but I'd also guess that just about any local computer store would also sell them.

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.

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.
