Post Tips to Google
I'm starting this thread for people to make most from Google Searches... I hope this will help users to get quick and accurate results...
  • There is an advanced search link you can use to narrow down words, dates and more... The link is in text and at the time of this writing, it is to the right of the search box... This can take longer, but can be very helpful if your looking for something very specific...
  • A shortcut to using advanced search is to put your search words in "quotes"... Here is why; by simply typing in deadly black cobra Google will return websites with ALL of the words deadly, black OR cobra in them returning 112,000 websites at the time of this post... If you wanted information on deadly black cobra, you will need to shift through a lot of websites to find them... Now, by putting "deadly black cobra" in quotes it return websites with only the words deadly, black and cobra in a sentence... In this case it now returned only 202 websites... Fewer website hits, more accurate results... I have been using this trick since I can remember with other search engines as well, including Alta Vista, Yahoo, etc...

Those 2 tips will help you the majority of the time... Google looks so simple, just go there, type in your search and you r off, but Google is much more elaborate than that... When you have time, here is 1 link for you to check out that make Google not only more functional, but fun to use as well!!!

P.S.- More inputs are welcome and please rate this thread...

Thanks for starting this nice thread... I am amazed at people's ability to ignore all the goodies google has to offer. If only every one knew how to search half their problems would be solved without having to consult anyone ever.

I have been using google for so many years now infact since google started and I still find my self amused at new things google has to offer and keeps on adding every now and then.. just need to realise the power of search engines

Also on the advanced search page you can click on "Date, Usage right, num. range and more"
This helps you make your search more specific to - Zones, URLs and specially file types.

For all people who search lots of PDFs online try :
Ebook Search - Pdf Search Engine
