Google Search Features are Awesome
I love using these features and I just can't keep it to myself!
98% of people don't know how to use them correctly. Here are 11 Google search tricks that will make your life easier ↓↓↓
1. "Phrase Search" Wrap your search words in quotes for precise results. All outputs will include your exact phrase.
2. "Minus Sign - " To omit a word from your search, prefix it with a dash. Example: jaguar -car This will show results for the animal jaguar, not the car brand Jaguar.
3. "Tilde Usage ~ " Apply a tilde to display synonyms in the search outcomes. Example: gardening ~guides This yields results for gardening guides, tutorials, manuals, etc.
4. "Site Search" Employ this to search solely within a chosen website. Example: chocolate cake site:bakingworld. com This looks for chocolate cake recipes on the specified website (bakingworld dot com)
5. "Vertical Bar" Acts similar to the OR operator. Example: Cake | Cookies Translates as Cake OR Cookies.
