Discover how to get the most from your search engine queries. There is more to searching than just typing in some words and hitting the enter key. Get very targeted results which will allow you to spend less time searching and more time learning.
When searching for information on the search engines most people
just type in their keywords and then dig through the thousands (usually
millions) of pages until they find what they are looking for. This can
be very tedious and time consuming. It can also be very frustrating
especially if you are short on time or have limited access to a
computer.
The ability to find what you need quickly and
painlessly is what the internet is supposed to be about. Here are some
tips to help you understand how to maximize your search results while
minimizing your time spent searching.
Finding the exact phrase:
If you know the exact phrase you’re looking for, tell the search engine
to return only pages with the words in the order in which you type
them. This type of search provides you with fewer search results than
the Find All of The Words search. Syntax example: “internet marketing
tips”.
Finding at least 1 of the words: You can tell Google to find pages with any of the words or phrases you provide. Syntax example: rodent OR racing
Omit pages with particular words:
You can tell Google to search for a phrase but to omit pages that
contain particular words. For instance, you may want to find all the
pages with the phrase internet marketing but omit the pages containing
the word affiliate. Syntax example: “internet marketing” -affiliate
Find a page in the index:
Google provides a way to search for a particular page to see if it’s in
the Google index. However, Google is a little inconsistent in its
results; sometimes it provides a lot of information about the page and
sometimes only a little (less than it has available). It also provides
four links to other types of searches: the page stored in the cache,
pages that are similar, pages that link to the specified page , and
pages that contain the URL in their text. Syntax example:
info:internet-marketing.com or internet-marketing.com
There are
many more ways to maximize your search results and spend less time
searching and more time finding. May your searches be more productive
and your search engine experience less painful.
