7 Tips for Using Google Search for More Powerful Search

Google Search has many hidden tricks that you may not be aware of. How can you use these tricks in Google Search?

Most users use Google Search to find different kinds of information. They just type the keywords they need and get results based on their search.

But there are other ways to do this that are more effective. Here are some of the secret ways and tricks in Google Search.

1. Filter search results by date.

If you want to get search results from a specific date range, you can use this method. First type your query, then tap Tools, click Any Time and click Custom range.

A small Custom Date Range box will appear, along with a calendar.

You can enter a start and end date. This way, you narrow down your results and make sure you don’t get any search results outside this time frame. Then just hit Go.

2. Exclude keywords you don’t want.

Sometimes you get unwanted search results that are annoying. But with this trick, you can avoid this.

To do this, put a minus sign (-) before the word you don’t want.

Then, put a plus sign (+) before the word you want to emphasize as an important word, and start searching for the keyword in Google Search.

3. Search for files in Google Search.

You can also search for a specific file or document in Google Search, not just web pages.

You can simply type filetype at the start of the search if you are looking for a spreadsheet, PDF, or other document.

For example, if you want a PDF, type filetype:pdf in the search, along with your keywords.

This tip is useful if you are also looking for other file types. Just type filetype:xlsx along with your keywords into the search engine.

4. Use Advanced Search.

You can get a more refined search of the document or result you want by using this method. You can do this by clicking Settings below and to the right of the main text field and looking for Advanced Search.

According to USA Today, you will see several search columns. There, you can filter your search in many different ways.

If you can’t find something on a specific website because the search function is poor, just go to Advanced Search where you can search by site or domain.

For visual media, you can search by image size or aspect ratio, color, search by site, or even filter results by usage rights.

5. Quick and easy search method.

If you don’t need all the filters with Advanced Search, you can use some shortcuts for regular searches. For example, if you want to find something exact, add quotation marks to a word or phrase. (e.g., “The Last Dance”).

You can also search for sites directly by placing site: before the URL, then follow it with your search term.

It will look like site:command.com “google”. You can use the same method to search for related content.

Put an “@” before a word to search for social media, or add a # before to search for hashtags. Use * instead of an unknown word or as a placeholder.

6. Find out the origin of the word.

Many people use Google as a dictionary, typing a word and then “definition” into a search engine.

But Google also shows more than just a simple entry. It also shows synonyms, antonyms, and (often) etymologies of the word, i.e. the origin of the word. For example, the word “night” comes from Old English “neaht”.

7. Do two searches at once.

Most of us only think of searching for one search term at a time; first, we search for “Paris”, then we search for “History of Aviation”.

If you are not sure what you are looking for, Google can combine searches. All you need to do is add search terms and separate them with “and” or “or”.
