Exact Words and Phrases
One of the most basic and widely known search tricks is using quotation marks to search for an exact phrase. For example, perform the following search and you’ll only get pages that contain the word “ElectroShopWorld” followed by the word “Electronics”“Electroshopworld Electronics”
Excluding a Word
The minus sign allows you to specify words that shouldn’t appear in your results. For example, if you’re looking for pages about Linux distributions that don’t mention Ubuntu, use the following search:linux distributions -ubuntu
Site Search
The site: operator allows you to perform a search in a specific site. Let’s say you’re looking for information on Android ElectroShopWorld website. You could use the following searchsite:electroshopworld.co.zaAndroid
or
inurl:electroshopworld.co.za Android
Related Words
The tilde (~) operator is the opposite of enclosing a single word in quotes — it searches for related words, not just the word you type. For example, if you ran the following search, you’d find search results with words similar to “gadget”:~gadget
The Wildcard
The asterisk (*) is a wildcard that can match any word. For example:android * from electroshopworld
Word Definitions
You don’t have to Google a word and look for a dictionary link if you want to see its definition. Use the following search trick and you’ll see an inline definition:define:Electroshopworld
Calculator
Use Google as a calculator. Here’s an example:(4 + 2) * (6 / 3)
Unit Conversions
The calculator can also convert between units. Just type “X [units] in [units]”. Here’s an example:54uds in eur
or
30feet in m
File Type
The filetype: operator lets you search for files of a specific file type. For example, you could search for only PDF files.filetype:pdf android user manual
