How do we usually enter queries in the search bar? Just write a word or phrase and press "Search" or Enter. Of course, in the end we get a bunch of information in the form of links, most of which is completely useless. As a result, we find not at all (or not quite) what we were looking for. And all because we do not know how to do it right. The following Google secrets will help you learn how to find relevant information on the web.
Search in a specific language
If you need search results to be in a specific language, then use the Lang search operator for this. Working with him is easy. First enter it in the search bar, and then through the colon the abbreviation of the language for which you are looking for information. For example, for English it will be en, for Ukrainian - uk, for French - fr, and so on.
Site search
If you need to find this or that information on a specific site, use the site special operator for this. After the colon, enter the address of the desired site and your request. In the search results, get links to pages of this particular resource.
Search by document type
Suppose you need not just a site containing information according to the entered request, but a document of a specific type (for example, .pdf or .xml). To do this, we use the mime operator, and through the colon write the type of the document we are looking for.
Search with exception
If you don’t want to see a word in the search results, then simply exclude it from the query by placing a “-” sign. For example, "Apple-Steve Jobs."
Enable Search
In order for the documents found on request to contain a specific word / phrase, add it by putting the "+" sign. Example: "Top Comedy Ranking + Adam Sandler." Note that no space is left after the plus sign.
Search with space
If you are looking for a specific quote, but some word simply flew out of your head - it does not matter. Instead, put "*". And enclose the quote itself in quotation marks. For example, "Highest wisdom - * good and evil."
Search offer
If you want the words entered as a query to be in the same sentence, then use the "&" sign. Then in the search results will be only the results where all the keywords are used together in one sentence.
