Refine your search on Google!!!

To get exact information which you need from Google by refining your search word is a speciality. We rely on Google for all the information whichever we need. In many cases, our search results will give us only disappointment. Because we may formed the search word as common.

According to the Google search site, if our search questions correct, then we get the information we were looking for.  Therefore, we need to learn the search words to get right information which we need.

Usually, interrupts, and other signs that we offer so much importance. However, Google offers. Few indexes that Google understands are as follows:
  1. +   Google + page or blood type (AB +) to take on Google search. 
  2. @ Social status tag (Social tags) 
  3. & Google is looking for specific feedback 
  4. % In the value of the data. 
  5. $ This refers to the price. 
  6. # Will also find information on specific topics
If you want to get information from particular site, include "site" along with your search words.
For example, if you wanna get information about 'Tamil language' from wikipedia, your search words should be something like Tamil language site:wikipedia.com
           Note: Don't give space after colon

Use double quotes to query your exact search words from the sites.
For example, if you were searching for 'computer help' this actually searches for pages that contain both computer and help and not necessarily pages that have computer and help next to each other. If you search for "computer help" with the quotes around the search query this will only return pages that actually have computer and help next to each other.

Definitions
     Pull up the definition of the word by typing define followed by the word you want the definition for. For example, typing: define bravura would display the definition of that word.

Local search
    Visit Google Local enter the area you want to search and the keyword of the place you want to find. For example, typing: restaurant at the above link would display local restaurants.

Phone number lookup
     Enter a full phone number with area code to display the name and address associated with that phone number.

Find weather and movies
    Type "weather" or "movies" followed by a zip code or city and state to display current weather conditions or movie theatres in your area. For example, typing weather 560066 gives you the current weather conditions for Whitefield, Bangalore and the next four days. Typing movies 56066 would give you a link for show times for movies in that area.

Track airline flight and packages
     Enter the airline and flight number to display the status of an airline flight and it's arrival time. For example, type: delta 123 to display this flight information if available.
Google can also give a direct link to package tracking information if you enter a UPS, FedEx or USPS tracking number.

Translate
    Translate text, a full web page, or search by using the Google Language Tools.

Pages linked to you
    See what other web pages are linking to your website or blog by typing link: followed by your URL. For example, typing link:http://www.yahooom displays all pages linking to yahoo. 

Find PDF results only
      Add fileType: to your search to display results that only match a certain file type. For example, if you wanted to display PDF results only type: "dell xps" fileType:pdf -- this is a great way to find online manuals.

Calculator
    Use the Google Search engine as a calculator by typing a math problem in the search. For example, typing: 100 + 200 would display results as 300.

Stocks

    Quickly get to a stock quote price, chart, and related links by typing the stock symbol in Google. For example, typing: msft will display the stock information for Microsoft.

Google can be used as
  • Dictionary
  • Convert one measurement into other, etc.,
