16 ways to "google" as a professional


1. Exclusion from Google search
To exclude from the search results or a word, phrase, symbol, etc., it is enough to put a sign in front of it & quot; - "(minus), and it does not appear in the search results.
For example, I entered into the search bar the following phrase: "free hosting -.ru" and in the SERP no .ru site than paid advertisements.

2. Search for synonyms
Use the symbol "~" to search for similar words to choose. For example as a result of the expression: "~ the best movies -Best" you will see all the links to pages that contain synonyms of the word "best", but none of them will not contain this word.

3. Inconclusive search
In case, if you have not decided on a specific keyword search will help the operator "*".
For example, the phrase "the best editor * images" will select the best editors for all types of images, whether digital, raster, vector, etc.

4. Search for the choice of the options
Using the operator "|", can be done a Google search on several combinations of phrases, replacing a few words in different places.
For example, we introduce the phrase "buy cover | handle" will give us the pages that contain either "buy cover" or "buy a pen"

5. The meaning of the word
To find the value of a word, simply enter a search string "define:" followed by a colon and a search phrase.

6. Exact

7. Search for a specific site

8. Trackbacks

9. Currency converter
The Google search engine is also able to convert the value of the user's request.
For example, we need to know how much is 1 kg in pounds. We collect the following query: "1 kg in pounds"

10. Currency converter
To find out the exchange rate at the official rate, we collect the following search query: "1 [currency] in [currency]"

11. Time of the city

12. Google calculator

13. Search by file type

14. Search the cached page
Google has its own server, where he keeps a cached page. If you need such, use the operator: "cached:"

15. The weather in the city
