Google Search techniques and prompts methods

 


1. Related 

To find the related websites in google search use

 

"related:<website>" to find similar websites. 


Eg. related:http://google.com


2. filetype

We can search any type of file just by putting, 


"search term filetype:<fileformat>" 


Supports all file formats like pdf, doc, mp3 and a lot more.


Eg. react course filetype:pdf



3. Search operators - Minus(-) and Plus(+)

We must use - and + operators in search terms to completely eliminate or focus on certain keywords, just by adding 


"search term +<focused key>"

"search term -<eliminate key>"


Eg. web +responsive

       web -responsive



4. Quotes (" ") and Astreiks( * )

By using " " gives results that match exactly with the search term. 


If we forget a term, using * to match with those keys. 


Search results will vary based on the term. 


Eg. "We will rock you"

       "We will * you"



5. Search within the site 

We can search for the particular words within the site, try using


"search term site:<site-name>".


Returns results for that term in that site.


Eg.  productivity site:http://freecodecamp.org



6. OR (|) operator

Lets use OR operator to get either of the results from the search keywords. 


Like,

<search term 1 > OR <search term 2>. 


we could also use, 

<search term 1> | <search term 2>


Eg. tesla OR edison 

      tesla | edison



7. Number Range (..) 

For us to get the results within the particular limit, either in dollars or in years, use


<search term> <range>..<range>.


We can also search for dates or prices within the range.


Eg. olympic videos 2015..2020


8. Date search 

We could search results based on the dates. 


Click "Tools" below the "Google search console" and change "Any Time".


We could see the results for Past hour, Past 24 hours, Past week, Past month, Past year and custom range withing you can choose your dates.
