Nairaland has a search button powered by Yahoo. This can be used to search for information on NL. In my case, I use it to research the price of cars listed on NL. To get precise results from your search, enclose them in quotation marks.

For instance if you search for 2005 Honda Accord at this very moment, you will get 6190 results. But if you search for "2005 Honda Accord", the result is narrowed to 947. This means that searching without the quotation marks gives you everything that has 2005, Honda or Accord. It might even give you Honda Baby Boy or 2005 Pathfinder. But with quotation marks, you get exactly what you want.

This is the same for all search engines including Google and Bing. There are many more combinations that can be used to get an accurate search result but this is the basic.
