Anybody know of any good Google tutorial or "how-to" sites?

I'd like to know more about Google searches, the more intensive searches where you use the quotes and various symbols like (&) and (+) and (%). I know they are used to refine a search but I'm not entirely sure how and when to use what. There must be several sites out there that do this, sorta like a "Google for Dummies". Thanks in advance.

Oh actually, it's in Basics (or whatever), here's that direct link:

I've been buying O'Reilly books for years. This book may be overkill for your current needs.
