    Google is the most used search engine by people around the world. Its unparalleled ubiquity in the virtual domain is noteworthy. Such is its prevalence that the word “Googling,” synonymous with searching the web, has become a colloquial term. This article touches on the multiple practical tips that can level up your Google searching endeavor and help save time on the internet.

    Pro Tips To Search on Google Like an Expert

    These are a few recommendations to get the most relevant results on the Google search engine. Use them and the search engine will be the powerhouse it’s meant to be.

    Matching Exact Phrases

    If you want to find results for a particular phrase, you can use double quotes around the word or phrase in the search box. This way, Google can prioritize the web pages containing the exact term and provide relevant results.

    Example: “haunted house in England”

    Scaling Your Search by Increasing Terms

    Google recommends appending search terms with the basic word to get more refined results. For example, if you are looking for Python courses, you can search in this fashion.

    Example: Python courses for beginners Coursera

    Extending Content Search by Specifying File Types

    Need PDF documents or EPUB books from an author? Head to Google and use the following syntax to find content specific to these file types. This trick works virtually for every file type, such as DOCX, PPTX, MP3, etc.

    Usage: keyword filetype:[file type]

    Example: Arthur Conan Doyle filetype:pdf

    Finding Similar Websites

    Google is a potent search engine that can help you find websites similar to your favorites within seconds. Using this technique, you can readily find related sites and browse multiple comparable options.

    Usage: related:[website-url]

    Example: related:github.com

    Results: Bitbucket, GitLab, and Git will appear in the search results as all of them are related to software version management.

    Searching for a Keyword Within a Specific Website

    Are your favorite websites missing a built-in search feature? Worry not! The site syntax of Google is here to help. This feature can help you find articles, blog posts, and web pages related to your keyword inside a specific website.

    Usage: keyword site:[website-url]

    Example: Burj Khalifa site:wikipedia.com 

    Results: all pages on Wikipedia with the keyword

    Excluding Search Terms

    If your search demands excluding particular phrases from the search results, you can use the minus sign while searching. This approach will help you get the desired results for search queries with ambiguous or multiple meanings.

    Usage: keyword -[ignored phrase]

    Example: Ruby -gemstone 

    Results: web pages about the programing language (anything related to precious stones is excluded)

    Using a Proxy To Obtain Region-specific Search Results

    Use premium residential proxies from IPRoyal.com to mask your IP address and get results for different countries. This approach works like a charm for finding regional news articles and content. For example, a residential proxy in China can reroute your search traffic and make it look like it comes from there. It also supports getting the most relevant search results. Do your research and witness the provider’s performance on bestproxyfinder.com. 

    Solving Math Equations With the Calculator Feature

    Type “calculator” in Google’s search box to use an online calculator or enter mathematical problems directly in the search bar to get the solution.

    Usage: number1 [operator] number2

    Example: 5+3

    Using Logical Operators

    Logical operators like AND and OR can optimize your Google searches and provide the best results. This boolean search method comes in handy when you want to search for two keywords simultaneously. Use AND when you want to see results for both the keywords and OR when you require results for any of them. Remember, the operators are case-sensitive.

    Usage: keyword1 AND keyword2

    Example: cat AND dog

    Results: websites that contain both keywords in them simultaneously

    Usage: keyword1 OR keyword2

    Example: dog OR cat

    Results: websites that contain either keyword

    Using Before and After Operators

    Google can narrow down your search by publish date. Use the “before:” and “after:” operators to find articles and blog posts within a specific timeframe. 

    Usage: keyword before:[yyyy-mm-dd], keyword after:[yyyy-mm-dd]

    Example: self-help before:2021-12-28

    Results: web pages published before 28th December 2021 that contain the keyword

    Googling is an excellent way to find in-depth information about anything and everything on the web. Follow these tips to find the desired information you want hassle-free. Being a Google master will truly open doors – the world is your oyster!
