There are many slashtags like “/about” which I used to get the find out more link at the bottom of this article. Here is one type of example, in the search box type “Nickam /twitter”. This will recover any recent Nickam references in Twitter. Another example type is “Nicholas Cage /humor” to find humorous web stories about Nicholas Cage. Any other search engine would provide lots of useless websites not related to want you actually want. These are only 2 of 5 ways Blekko has improved the way to search the internet, find out more.
