Advanced Google Search - How to Search to Find?

[mostakimvip06]

This is of course an extension of the basic search engine, thanks to which we can define the exact guidelines that the search engine should follow when searching the web. To use it, simply enter specific phrases in the standard search box or use dedicated symbols, which we will describe below. They are called operators , or simply filters of a kind. There is also a "simplified" version of advanced search, which I will mention at the end, due to the fact that not all commands can be entered in it.

The most commonly used and useful search operators in Google
1. Operator - “”
That is, simply enclosing the search phrase in quotation marks. It allows you to search Google for exactly what you have placed in quotation marks . For example, if you search for the phrase ski pants without using quotation marks, Google will find results that match both the word pants and the word ski, i.e. results such as sweatpants and ski jumping. However, if you search for the phrase "ski pants" - you will only see results that contain both of these words in the exact order in which they were searched.

Example of use:
“Green Ray Ban Glasses”

2. Operator - site:
Site allows you to narrow your search results to a specific web address. This will only show you results from the selected site.

Example of use:
site:rekinysukcesu.pl Contact

3. Operator - allintitle:
The allintitle operator allows us to search Google for all the words entered in the title of the result. Thanks to it, we can find the entire article devoted to the phrase we entered, not just the entry in which our phrase was mentioned "by the way". Remember that if we want to search for the exact phrase entered, we must use quotation marks.

Example of use:
allintitle:green glasses “Ray Ban”

4. Operator - intitle:
It works very similarly to its predecessor, but in this case Google will only look for the first word of our phrase in the titles. The remaining words will be searched for as standard on the entire page.

Example of use:
intitle:Ray Ban Glasses Green

5. Operator - allintext:
This operator allows us to search for all the words we enter in the entire text contained on a page or in a document.

Example of use:
allintext:Glasses “Ray Ban” green

6. Operator - intext:
This filter, like its predecessor, will allow us to search for a given word or georgia telemarketing data phrase (in quotes) in the entire text. In this case, however, it will only search for the first word in the text that appears next to “intext:”, unless we use quotes.

Example of use:
intext:Ray Ban Glasses Green

7. Operator - allinurl:
The allinurl operator searches for words entered by us directly in website addresses. This can be useful when, for example, we want to receive only results leading to pages using the secure https protocol.

Example of use:
allinurl:https “Ray ban” green glasses

8. Operator - inurl:
Like the operator above, inurl allows you to search for a given word or phrase in website addresses, but in this case, only the phrase next to “inurl:” will be searched for in the addresses. The remaining words will be searched for as usual.

Example of use:
inurl:https Ray ban green glasses

9. Operator - filetype:
This operator allows us to find search results as downloadable files in a specified format, e.g. PDF.

Usage example:
filetype:PDF User manual

10. Operator - cache:
Thanks to it, we can launch the searched page in the form of the latest version saved in the cache.

11. Operator - -
The minus operator before the entered phrase will allow us to exclude given words from the search results.

Example of use:
Green Ray Ban glasses -red -”Tommy Hilfiger”

12. Operator - *
Usage example:
Advanced * Google

13. Operator - related:
The related operator allows us to find search results that are related in any way to the website we enter.

Example of use:
related:interia.pl

14. Operator - ..
This filter allows us to search for a given range of numbers. It is especially useful, for example, when we are looking for certain information over a period of x years.

Example of use:
Pepsi ad 1900..2000

15. Operator - OR
Thanks to it, we can search for several phrases with the indication that not all phrases may be included in the search results.

Example of use:
Green Ray Ban glasses OR Blue Ray Ban glasses

Connecting operators
Of course, the use of operators is not limited to just one per search. We can very precisely define filters and specify our search.

For example:

We want to buy a snowboard online, so we type in the search engine:
Snowboard buy

Google Search
There are online stores where we can buy boards.

However, we decide to buy a used board, because we are just learning and we are not sure if it is for us. So we type in “Snowboard used buy”.
