Intro:
Hello readers in this blog post I am going to tell you some very important Tips and Tricks for Google search and it is very easy to understand. I am using google for about 10 – 15 years ago but today these tips are very helpful for you as a content writer and even if you have normal searches in google these tips are very helpful to your daily routine.
1. Eliminate a Particular Word from the Search Results.
To eliminate a particular word from your Google search results, you can use the “-“ operator. For example, if you want to search for “cat” but want to exclude results that contain the word “dog” you can enter the query “cat -dog”. This will search for “cat” and exclude any results that contain the word “dog”.
You can also use quotes to search for an exact phrase. For example, to search for the phrase “cat in the hat” and exclude results that contain the word “dog” you can enter the query “cat in the hat” -dog”.
You can also use multiple exclusion operators to exclude multiple words. For example, to search for “cat” and exclude results that contain the words “dog” or “fish” you can enter the query “cat -dog -fish”.
Keep in mind that the exclusion operator works best when the word you want to exclude is a common word. If the word you want to exclude is a rare or uncommon word, it may not be as effective at excluding results.
2. Include a Particular Word in the Search Results
To include a particular word in your search results, you can use the “+” operator. For example, if you want to search for “cat” and only want to include results that contain the word “dog,” you can enter the query “cat +dog”. This will search for “cat” and only include results that contain the word “dog”.
You can also use multiple inclusion operators to include multiple words. For example, to search for “cat” and only include results that contain the words “dog” or “fish,” you can enter the query “cat +dog +fish”.
Keep in mind that the inclusion operator works best when the word you want to include is a common word. If the word you want to include is a rare or uncommon word, it may not be as effective at including results.
3. Filter the Result according to the Time
To filter Google search results by time using the tools button, follow these steps:
- Go to Google and enter your search query.
- Click on the “Tools” button located below the search bar.
- From the “Tools” menu, click on the “Any time” drop-down menu and select the time range you want to filter by.
You can select from the following time ranges:
- Past hour
- Past 24 hours
- Past week
- Past month
- Past year
- Custom range
If you select “Custom range,” you can enter a specific date range by clicking on the “From” and “To” fields and selecting the desired dates from the calendars.
Once you have selected the time range you want to filter by, your search results will be updated to include only results within that time range.
Keep in mind that the time range filters may not work for all search engines or all types of content. Some search engines may not support the filters, and some types of content may not include information about the date of publication.
4. Search Specific sized and Colored images
