Here are some not so familiar google search tricks and tips that are very useful.
NOT MORE THAN 10 WORDS - Google limits searches to only ten words entered, so keep your search phrases as short as possible. ORDER IS IMPORTANT - Google searches the words in the order they appear. So TRAVEL WORLD will get you results which are different from WORLD TRAVEL. INTITLE - Search only the Webpage Titles. Example: intitle:funny pictures SPECIFY FILETYPES - There are a number of file types searched by Google in addition to standard HTML-formatted pages. Example: Typing filetype:swf ninja games brings back only flash movies on the subject of ninja games. Check out more examples below.
- Adobe Acrobat - pdf
- Microsoft Excel - xls
- Powerpoint - ppt
- Rich Text Format - rtf
- Text files - txt
INTEXT only, NO URL or link - Google searches only in the body text of Web pages-not in links, URLs, or titles. Example: intext:best game SEARCH WITHIN A SPECIFIC SITE - Use this when you want Google's to search in particular site alone. Example: site:gamerevolution.com arcade games would return results about arcade games from gamerevolution site alone. ASK GOOGLE TO DEFINE A WORD - Example define: secret GOOGLE AS CALCULATOR or CURRENCY EXCHANGE CALCULATOR - its as simple as entering 4+4 or any other complex equation. In Currency conversion just put a '?' for the unknown term. Example - 34 INR = ? USD. - Post Information provided by Prajish.
