Do you know how to Google? Here are some useful tricks

in #google8 years ago (edited)

If you want to limit your search term to a specific website, simple put "site:yourwebsite.com" first


---

Wrapping your search phrase in quotation will search for exactly that phrase, spacing and position preserved


---

To limit your search results to a specific filetype, put "filetype:yourfiletype" before your search terms. Here's an effective way to find "The Power of Habit" in epub format. Master hackerman!


---

If you're searching for a phrase, but don't remember some of the words, use asterisks as placeholders. I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse.


---

Place a dash(-) before a search terms to exclude any results relate. In the example below, we don't want Google to show us android webpages. We just want those delicious lollipops


---

Especially useful for prices, put two dots(periods) between numbers to set a range

In fact, why not limit your TV shopping to a single website? Combine the first trick on this article with the trick above


---

Insert the "OR" operator between any two words, and Google will show results containing either one. In the example below, Google will show both results for "son of a bitch" and "son of a whore"


---

Well, that's it for now. If there's a lot of upvotes, I might do another. Have a good day everyone

Thanks. Always nice to have this cheat sheet handy. My fav google functions are: flights.google.com (explore option) or https://www.google.com/flights/explore (search Matrix)

oh, I love Google Flights! Infact, go here: https://www.google.ca/flights/?f=0#search;f=YYZ,YTZ;d=2016-10-29;r=2016-11-02;mc=m

It shows you, on the map, the cheapest price to go from where you are to every single place you can go to.
