Daily when I come to office, I ramble through Google News. From the instant, we start surfing on internet, we use Google Search engine. Be it just for verifying if GPRS is working fine(Mobile WAP users specifically) or be it you are not sure about the web address or be it you are unsure about what to search, Google has all of the answers. Simply write "answer to life, the universe and everything " and check the results. Google will answer you number "42" which means a lot to Astronomical personnels. Well If you want to refine your search, you can use some keyterms in Google searchbar. I am sharing some of the hidden terms which will help you in filtering the Google results.
1. Boolean Logics : Google main search engine inserts ‘AND’ in two terms before searching in world wide web. For Eg. You write Egg Cup. It means Egg AND Cup. For better results, you may write “Egg OR Cup” or “Egg | Cup”.
2. Synonyms : You want to search any similar word for a word you already know. Just prefix the word with hyphen(-). For Eg. –Love.
3. Stop Words : The very common words are excluded by Google like I, you, if etc. If you want to include then Use “+” operator. For Eg. “If+I+am+alien”.
4. Search Phrases : If you want to search any specific word or Phrase, write it in quotes. Eg. : “putting hands to mouth”
5. Fill in the Blanks : If you Google to do your homework then you can ask for fill in the blanks. Just put an asterisk(*) in place of blank. Eg. : “Radio was discovered in *”.
6. Filetype : A number of times we seek for any data in doc or pdf format for ease. Google recognizes the word “filetype:[file extension]” and search the specific file format format for you. Eg. Filetype:pdf Unix
7. Intitle : To refine your search with results containing the Title with words you want, Use “Intitle: queen”
8. Inurl : If you want to search the web address containing the required word. Use “inurl :air”
9. Search within site : Use “site:[website name] ‘to be searched word’ “. Eg. : site:rkant91.wordpress.com HTC
10. Define : Use built-in dictionary of Google. Use define:[word] to check the meaning of word.
11. Google Calculator : Simply write “12*45” and get the result through Google in-built Calculator.
12. Google Converter : Simply write “34kilos to pounds” and get the results through Google Converter.
