Tips To Use Google Efficiently

Millions of people use Google every day for a

variety of reasons.

Did you know that you may not be using Goo

gle

to its full potential?

Here are some tips and tricks to maximize you

r

search efficiency.

Use Tabs

The first tip is to use the tabs in Google search.

On the top of every search are a number of tab

s. Usually you’ll see Web, Images, Maps, and M

ore.

Use Quotes “ ____ ”

When searching for something specific, try usin

g

quotes to minimize the guesswork for Google,

when you put your search parameters in quotes

,

it tells Google to search for the whole phrase.

Use Quotes

For instance, if you search for ”Puppy Dog Sweater

s”Google will search for these three words.

Use Quotes

Use a hyphen to exclude words

When you Google for Apple, you may get results f

or both the fruit or tech company. If you want to c

ut one out use the hyphen to tell Google to ignore

fruit.

Use a colon to search specific site

When you want to Google for articles or content on

a certain website !

This will search for all content about Xiaomi butonly on BBC website.

Use the asterisk wildcard

This is a brilliant way to find song lyrics if you

don’t know all the words.

Let’s look at the syntax.

“Come * right now * me”

Use the asterisk wildcard

Search for multiple words at once

Google search is flexible. By using this trick, you

can search for one word or phrase along with a

second word or phrase. This can help narrow

down your search to help you find exactly what

you’re looking for.

Search for multiple words at once

“Best ways to prepare for a job interview” OR

“How to prepare for a job interview”

By searching that, Google will search both phrases. It can be done by word too, like this:

chocolate OR white chocolate

Keep it simple !!

Google knows how to search for a lot of thing

s.

This means you don’t need to be too specific.

If you need a pizza place nearby, use this:

Pizza places nearby

Google will grab your location and deliver a

variety of results about pizza places that are

near you.

Gradually add search terms.

As Google itself suggests, the best method is to

start with something simple then gradually get

more complicated.

First try: job interviews

Second try: prepare for job interviews

Third try: how to prepare for a job interview

Use words that websites would use

When people use Google to hunt the web, they

generally search for things using the same

language that they would use for speaking.

I have a flat tire Repair a flat tire

My head hurts Headache Relief

Google Images

Google can actually do Maths for you.

You can ask basic questions or some more

difficult ones !
