How Googlers Use it?

Google has turned up as an integral part of our lives and hardly goes a day when we not use it to search something. For us, it is so simple that we only have to type a few words in the search bar and get a whole list of results. However, it is not that easy internally. Complex sets of algorithm function within fractions of a second which will not be totally comprehensible for all of us. Here in this article we shall enlist some brief points or more suitably called tricks adopted by Google to help us swiftly search matters. We hope that the information would be immensely helpful to you.

1. Search for quotes to find an exact phrase

This is a well-known and simple trick. If you search a quote, only those pages will emerge which have those words in similar order. We suggest you to adopt this trick when you know a fragment of in- order words of a phrase.

2. Add asterisk (*) inside quotes to replace for unknown words

Now, this is a lesser-known tactics: you can search for a phrase in quotes with replacing unknown words with asterisks. This makes searching for a particular song lyric so easy. Many times we can’t recollect all words of a small music lyric phrase. Song lyrics like ‘What a * world’ or idioms like ‘birds of same * flock together’ can be replaced with asterisks for missing words.

3. Use minus signs for eliminating those words you don’t need in your search

Certain words when searched for emerge whole lots of results owing to different meanings of the same search term. Take for example the term ‘Jaguar’ which when typed probably gives you results denoting the car brand. However, you may be searching for the predator animal, native to South-America. Here you can filter out the car brand from your search result by typing ‘Jaguar-car’. Yes, this ‘-‘ sign can be so hugely helpful.

4. When you’re searching for a website, use keywords
