While searching information using Google, most of the time
user enters directly keywords and clicks to search button. As result we get
such hit list where related search term is available in various form. Means
there can be text link, video link, audio link, Google book link etc. In short
what exact information user looking for, will not be received from that result
we have to manually sort out. For example I want to search file named “brazil ” in mp3
format. For that Google will not show you directly mp3 format file related to Brazil . Instead
of it Google will show mix result that includes so many url those redirects to
the various sources. If you want to get more accurate result from Google then
there are some operators should be used. Following are some operators to use that will make you more smart on internet.
Include Search or “+” Search
The common words, such as where,
the, how, and, other digits are letters are ignored by Google during searching
because it slows down the searching. However if the common words are essential
for getting the result, then by putting + in front of words will search the
pages including the word which we have used after +. For example: Search for
“Use of the”, we can write in text box as:
Use
of +the
Synonym Search
If we want
to search the search term along with synonyms, we should put tilde sign (“~”)
immediately in front of our search term. For example: how to search for clothes,
fashion and dresses. As result we will get same meaning of information in
search
~clothes
“OR” Search
When we
want to search pages that include either of two search terms, we need type OR in
between two keywords. For example we want to search colleges in either Paris or
Lyon:
While entering this type of criteria we should keep in mind that the operator must be in capital word or as alternative" | " pipe sign can be used.
While entering this type of criteria we should keep in mind that the operator must be in capital word or as alternative" | " pipe sign can be used.
Colleges in Paris OR Lyon
Domain Search
When we
want to search in specific website only, we should write search term followed
by the word “site” and a colon followed by the domain name. For example: we
want to search information related to Nokia mobile price on enigmazone.net
Nokia mobile price
site:enigmazone.net
If we want to search for Nokia mobile price information on
all .com domains, we have to enter criteria following way:
Nokia mobile price:.com
Range Search
This is
most useful to the shoppers. If you are going to buy something but in between
specific price range then Range search will help you to look for. For example,
if we want to search for Laptop costs in the range Rs. 10000 to 25000
Laptop Rs. 10000..Rs.25000
There will be used two dots (..) in between price range.
Phrase Search
Instead of
keywords if you want to go with phrase search. Then you can use double quotation
mark following way. That will show you exact phase term related result. For
example, roll of Gandhi in Indian freedom
“roll of Gandhi in Indian
freedom”
Use of “Filetype”
If we want
to search file named “Brazil ”
in mp3 format then following way we have to enter keywords along with filetype
word.
As a result, user will receive link of the file named Brazil in mp3
format. Same way we can find files in other formats. If you want get in word
document format simply after filetype we will use .doc, for powerpoint file
.ppt, for portable document format .pdf etc
Few more advance search options are there we will discuss it later in next session.
