Google is indeed one of the biggest part of our lives. Whether we want to search for a location, best dining places, live cricket score and much more we always use google the most. It is like a family to us. Thus, here are some of the Google tips and Tricks to make your searches more accurate and your life a bit easier.

(1) Always use Quotes

When searching for something specific, try using quotes to minimize the guesswork for Google search. When you put your search parameters in quotes, you always get better and more accurate and filtered search .

For instance, if you search for Puppy Dog Sweaters, the engine will search for content that contains those three words in any order. However, if you search “Puppy Dog Sweaters”, it will search for that phrase exactly as you typed it. This can help locate specific information that has been buried deep down.

(2) Use Hyphen to Exclude words

Sometimes you may find yourself searching for a word with an ambiguous meaning. An example is Mustang. When you search for Mustang you may get result for both a car made by ford or the horse. Thus if you type Mustang- Cars you will get search about cars only and not about horse.

(3) Use a Colon to search specific sites

There may be an instance where you need to Google search for articles or content on a certain website. The syntax is very simple for that and we will; show you that below.

Sidney Crosby site:nhl.com

This will search for all content about famous hockey player Sidney Crosby, but only on NHL.com. All other search results will be removed. If you need to find specific content on a particular site, this is the shortcut you can use.

(4) Use Google Search to do math

Google search can actually do math for you. This is a rather complex one to describe because it can be used in so many ways. You can ask it basic questions or some difficult ones. Here is the syntax for it;

8*5+5

Burger Places nearby

Google search will grab your location and deliver a variety of results about Burger places that are near you.

(6) Gradually Add Search terms

There will come a time when Google search doesn’t shovel out the results you expect. In this instance, keeping it simple may not be the best option.
