    When performing an image search the choices are, Any size, Large, Medium, Icon. Is there a way to designate a size greater than X? Google removed this option some time back.

    Any chance you have a cheat sheet with all of these techniques? Would be beneficial to have it handy until they become routine for me.

    The site:.EDU or site:.gov. So much info on the web is garbage copied from another site. I have been looking at getting rid of rats in a community garden. Tons of untested methods on the web that don't work. But adding edu, I found out about one of the newest experimental techniques--dry ice. I was skeptical as so many sites told me to sprinkle dandruff that was collected on the full moon..... :)
