10 Awesome Google Tricks and Tips - Part:1 (1-10)
Google Search... We use it every day, but still all we know is how to search. But the search engine has plenty of tricks up its sleeve. Here’s an overview of some of the most useful Google search tricks, from basic tips to new features just recently released.
1. Google Gravity.
Go to google and type “Google Gravity” and hit I’m felling lucky button or open first link.
The Scenario: We Want to find an e-commerce website similar to Flipkart.
The Solution- Type: related:flipkart.com.
NOTE: related:flipkart.com and related: flipkart.com are not same.
The Scenario: want to restrict your search results to the site or domain.
The Solution: Type "site:" followed by the URL of the website you'd like to search. Then add your search terms or you can also do it like this.
Eg:- "windows security site:microsoft.com".
Try a new way of searching Google: just write your query anywhere on the screen! Handwrite is a beta feature, available on Google.com from your smartphone or tablet. You can activate or disable Handwrite from your mobile search settings.
Turn Handwrite on or off.
1. Visit the Search settings page from your phone or tablet.
2. Go to the Handwrite section.
3. Select Enable to turn on and Disable to turn off.
4.At the bottom of the page, touch Save.
5. Keep It Simple.
Keep your search phrase as simple as possible.
Eg:- "Where can I find a Chinese restaurant". Could be searched like: “Chinese Restaurant Nearby” (Google uses your location to search).
6. Use hyphen ‘-‘ to exclude searches.
The Solution: so I can exclude animal by:-"Jaguar –animal". This will give me result of Jaguar Car only.
7. See weather info.
Type “CITY” forecast or you can also type "weather City_name/Zipcode" in Google Search.
8. Use Asterisks as Wild Card Words.
If there’s a popular phrase that you can’t remember fully, you can use asterisk to your advantage and search for the entire phrase in Google. Add an asterisk within a search as a placeholder for any unknown words. Type in something like a * saved is a * earned and you’ll get back different variations of the popular saying.
9. Search For Words In Exact Order.
When you put a word or phrase in quotes, the results will only include pages with the same words in the same order as the ones inside the quotes. Only use this if you're looking for an exact word or phrase, otherwise you'll exclude many helpful results by mistake.
Eg:- "imagine all the people" with quotes.
10. Google offline Game.
Slow internet or offline? Getting Bored? Try this on Google Chrome.
For Mobile: Just drag dragon up and start playing.
For PC: Press Up Arrow Key and get started.
