Google Search Tips And Tricks: How To Search Like A Pro

Since Google is the
largest search engine in the world, i'll share with
you some tricks on how to search like a pro on
Google.
1. Use of Quotation Marks and Key Phrases
When looking for something on Google,
envelope the key word with quotation marks to
instruct the search engine to bring all about
what you searching for. For example if you type
in"Reebok", search engine would bring all about
Reebok and nothing else.
2. Time Range Search
If you want to know about the NFL between
2011 to 2014 for example your search would
look like this NFL 2011...2014. This would
instruct the search engine to bring up all about
the NFL between 2011 and 2014.
3. Document Type Search
If you are looking for a particular file type say a
PDF file for example you can instruct Google to
look for PDF files on Technology by typing in
"Filetype: PDF Technology". For word file replace
PDF with docx, for PowerPoint files put in ppt,
for excel type in xls.
4. Inclusive Search
If you want search engine to bring up two terms
in the search, like Apple and Mac for example,
just type Apple OR Mac.
5. Searching for Word Definition
You don't need to type a word on Google and
start looking for dictionary definition on
dictionary sites. To get a definition on Google
just type "define: word" and the definition would
pop up on top page.
