Get the Max Out of Your Google Search

October 4, 2008 · Filed Under Learning by Kalyani Mukherjee·  

If you happen to have a computer and Internet access, chances are that you cannot have escaped Google. While billions of net users go to Google for looking up anything under the sun, here are a few tips on maximising your Google search.

Start off by going to the right Google site – Google.com if you are from US, Google.ca if from Canada or Google.co.uk for those in the United Kingdoms. Similarly Google has extensions for many countries and to narrow your results further click on ‘Search: Pages from X Country.

Begin and end the topic of your search with quotation marks. This will vastly narrow down your search. If you are looking for the definition or meaning of some term, type “define” and then the word you want to know about.

By going for “Advance Search” you can ask Google to search for only certain words and not others. You can also specify the type of file you want to download like a PDF or PowerPoint file. Other than this, the advance search can also be used for looking for sites published on a certain date or particular language.

At the top left of the page, there different links to Images, News, Shopping and Maps – each of which can help you to further refine your search. Finally you may also find useful links from “Google Services and Tools” after entering “About Google”. For internet junkie Google Lab is a worth a visit as it gives a peek into the latest things the Google guys are working on.
