Better Google searches using a tilde

Most don't know about, or use, the tilde (~) when using Google. Let me explain how the tilde can help. The tilde, when placed immediately before a word, will not only search for that word but also synonyms of the word. For instance a search for Cooking Recipes will only locate sites with those two words in it but a search for ~Cooking Recipes will not only find sites with cooking but also culinary, chef, food, kitchen and such.

Very easy to add to your searches and really makes a difference in the results
