"Google" is a term we use to describe using Google. That is how integrated this search engine has become in our lives. But do we know how to use it efficiently?
I did not until running into some very informative articles. Though I did briefly know of a few of these techniques, I was never one to remember to use them.
They are as follows:
Use google as your calculator
Use "site:" to search within a specific website
Use "define:" to search definitions
Use double quotes (" ") to search for an exact phrase
Use "filetype:" to search for results in a particular file type
Use AND, OR, NOT (represent by a minus sign)
Use "related:" to find similar websites
Use the wildcard asterisk *
Use "location:" to filter search results according to location
Use "before:" and "after:" to search within a date range
Use tilde operator to search for similar terms
Search using your voice with "Ok Goggle"
Use "cache:url" to find the cached version of the website
Use "intitle:" to search only in titles
Use google advanced search
