We have posted before List Of Best Google Search Tricks , its amazing to know that google is not just a search engine you can use it as convertor tool to convert between currency, weather, time, weight .
So here we are again with the top 5 advanced google search tricks that you must know.
1.Exact phrase searches
Use double quotes for exact phrase searches. Usually, Google is smart enough to determine the matching websites that contain your queries but there are cases that it returns “relevant” pages at the top that don’t exactly match your search string.
To limit Google to return only pages that has the exact string as your query, enclose your query with double quotes. Be careful though, since you are querying exact strings you might miss relevant pages that are really related with your search. for example searching for “bill gates” could cause you to miss relevant pages containing bill gates, (without quotes).
2. Limit search to a single domain
Some websites does not have search in it and you want to easily find something on this site,well google can really help you with that you can limit your search to a single web domain by appending “site:domain name” to the search phrase. For example, to limit a search to pages belonging only to wikipedia.org, I appended site:wikipedia.org to the search query.
3. Use wildcards for unknown terms.
This is good if you don’t know exactly what to put in the search query. For example, if you want to query pages containing bill * gates(the * is the wildcard), the popular page that has “bill ” + any word + “gates” on them will come up.
4. Use the OR operator
To allow either one of several words. For example if you want to look for pages containing “bill gates” or “steve ballmer” just search for “bill gates OR steve ballmer”.
5. Use the advanced search page
The advanced google search let you search for contents on the web with filters on language, date of creation, format, usage rights, geographical region and numeric range.
Don’t forget to check out Google’s new Search Options feature that came out only a few weeks ago. It lets you quickly filter by date and brings up related searches.
