Hi George
yes your are correct I am in France and it's difficult trying to find goods
if I can't speak the language although I am trying to learn it.

Hi Adrian,
I'm slightly confused. 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.
Bon cherche
George.

Hi George
Unfortunately 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.

Adrien

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.

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.
Regards
Adrien
