Google

Google LLC is an American multinational technology company specializing in internet-related services and products.

Google Search is a powerful tool that goes beyond simple keyword queries. By mastering some of the advanced search techniques, you can find more precise results faster and with less effort.

Use Quotation Marks for Exact Phrases

To search for an exact phrase, enclose the phrase in quotation marks. For example:

"climate change impact on agriculture"

This will return results containing the exact phrase "climate change impact on agriculture".

Use the Minus Sign to Exclude Words

If you want to exclude a word from your search results, use the minus sign (-). For example:

apple -fruit

This will return results about Apple Inc. and exclude results related to the fruit.

Use the Asterisk as a Wildcard

The asterisk (*) can be used as a placeholder for any unknown or variable terms. For example:

"largest * in the world"

This will return results for the largest entities in various categories.

site: to Search Within a Specific Website

To search within a specific website, use the site: operator. For example:

site:wikipedia.org "artificial intelligence"

This will return results about artificial intelligence from Wikipedia only.

intitle: to Search for Words in the Title

To find pages with specific words in the title, use the intitle: operator. For example:

intitle:technology trends 2024

This will return results with "technology" in the title and "trends 2024" somewhere on the page.

To find websites similar to a specific site, use the related: operator. For example:

related:nytimes.com

This will return websites similar to The New York Times.

Perform Calculations

You can use Google Search as a calculator by simply typing the equation. For example:

245 * 3.5

This will return the result of the calculation.

Convert Units

To convert units, just type the conversion you need. For example:

10 miles to kilometers

This will return the equivalent distance in kilometers.

Search for File Types

To search for specific file types, use the filetype: operator. For example:

"climate change" filetype:pdf

This will return PDF files containing information about climate change.

Find Images

To find images, use Google Images. You can access it by clicking on "Images" after performing a search or directly going to Google Images. You can also use specific search terms to narrow down your image search:

puppies

And then refine by using filters like size, color, type, and usage rights.

You are also able to do a reverse image search with Google Images
