If you use it right, Google is the most powerful tool in the world.
But the truth is most people suck at it.
Here are 8 Googling tips that you probably don't knowDown pointing backhand index
1)
"Quotation markets"
Put quotes around search terms to let you search exactly for that word.
All results will have your terms in it.
Example: "James Clear"
Gives you all James Clear search results without just "James" or just "Clear".
2)
- Dashes
If you want to exclude a term from your search, include a hyphen before that word.
Example: dolphins-football
You just want dolphins the animal not dolphins the professional football team.
3)
~ Tilde
Use tilde when you want synonyms to appear in the result.
Example: music ~classes
Here you only get music classes, lessons, coaching, etc.
4)
Site:
Use this to search within a specific website only.
Example: Kevin Ryan site:chrishlad..com
This searches for Kevin Ryan mentions on my website (chrishlad dot com).
5)
| Vertical bar
Same purpose as OR.
Example: Netflix | Hulu
Netflix OR Hulu
6)
.. Two Periods
Use two periods to search within 2 number ranges.
Example: movies 1980..2000
7)
Location:
Find news related to a particular location.
Example: Elon Musk location:sanfrancisco
8)
Filetype:
Filter by a certain file type related to your search.
Example: warren buffet filetype:pdf
This filters out all the click bait news Buffet news article you don't want to read.
