Using the words `guinea pig` when searching the web for help with guinea pig problems often has its drawbacks.

As we know the words `guinea pig` is associated (sadly) with lab experimants. The description is then used as an adjective which describes tests on humans.

i.e. The guinea pig was ..... and the 20 year old recovered after .....

This makes it hard to find info about `animal guinea pigs` because of the vast amount of info being given out about `human guinea pigs`.

Has anyone got any good ideas of using a search engine to get around the problem?

i find google works fine if your specific about what your looking for
like before i did research on guineas being housed on sawdust so i typed in "Guinea pigs Sawdust Bedding",if you type key words rather than whole sentences it should be easier
 
What search engine do you use? I use google and it's fine, the majority are all piggy sites.
