The Professional Way of Searching Google
by: alexies iglesia
Bestfriend, Google."
1.) Simple Queries:
So how will you effectively use google to find the exact
information of what you are looking for.Take this as example.
My friend Mr. Atrero. would like know how he can make a blog.
I told him to search it on Google.
He tried this
blog
so after he hit the search button, thousand of links appeared.
He asked where is the right one. I told him "OK, let me see
what is wrong?". I tried this
What is Blog
The answer was right there.
in formulating search queries you must be specific as far as
possible. A query like VPNUzer howto can yield a different
result than vpn howto. Google seems to be intelligent enough
to understand some human thought chain. So while making
queries be a bit descriptive and formulate a properly worded
query. Google ignores some of the common words such as 'the'
'and' 'a' etc while performing a search.
2.) Formulating a good search string:
Google is logically thinking and can use AND and OR logic for
the queries. If you search vpnuzer vpnuzer howto, Google
searches for pages containing vpnuzer AND how to. You can also
us OR logic in the search box.
ex:
vpnuzer OR Poknat vpn OR howto
you can also use "_" to specify a an exact string of word. you
can also use the AND and OR logic at the same time.
3.) How to search for a specific file type:
If you want to search for a file with the specific file type,
you can use a certain query like this
vpnuzer filetype:pdf
Google can recognize most common file types..
sometimes you can alse use
vpnuzer.exe
vpnuzer.zip
vpnuzer.rar
to make it more specific.
4.)Searching only at a site:
searching something only within a specific site is almost the
same with searching file type. a typical query can look like
this
vpnuzer filetype:Unlimitedzone.org
5.) Seaching in URLs and Page titles:
You can search in urls using inurl modifier. Try
inurl:smb.conf
Similarly you can use intitle modifier.
6.) Seaching fordefinitions
define:vpnuzer
7.) if you want to by something to buy
there is froogle.com similar like google which search for geek
gadgets price.
8.) google Calculator:
you can use google as calculator using this type of format
Type in an equation: (100+4567*10-200=)
What is the square root of 267? (sqrt(267))
9.) if you have some phrase to search and you forgot some
words, you can replace that forgotten word with asterisk(*)
ex: I will never let * fall
