How To Google Effectively

Do you know how to use google search to get the best out of it?

Most people just type in words related to what they're looking for, but that might not give the result they were hoping for. Google got his name from the word "googol", which referes to a very large number ( number one and 100 zeros after that ) and google search gives you also a lot of results for one search case and it may not be very accurate because of your unprecise terms.

Today i will teach you how to make your google search more efficient. You can use many terms in one search, just separate them by empty space. Or if you want to use more than one word in a term, separate them by coma.

Search terms:

site:SomeWebSite.com

Will search for the site or anything added by you from the site "SomeWebSite.com"

~car

Will search for "car" plus anything related to it.

"tea is a drink"

Will search for a phrase "tea is a drink". The results are in the exact order as you have the words in the quotes.

2010..2012

Results will be in that timerange.

-cat

Excludes "cat" from the search results.

filetype:jpg

filetypes are ".jpg". You can have any filetype.

intitle:computers

Shows results that have the word "computers" in the title.

author:CompilerK

Searches for papers that have "CompilerK" as an author.

define:watermelon

Gives you the definition of a "watermelon".

*table

If you are unclear about the word table, just add a * before it.

5,6 inch to centimeter

Automaticly shows you how many centimeters is 5,6 inches

Example

I got 5 results, all of which are refering to what i was looking for
