Not everyone knows how to Google correctly.

Often, how quickly you can find the information you need affects your performance. It would seem that what is so difficult here: you drive in a request and get the result. But sometimes it takes hours to find what you need, you have to browse a bunch of sites.

site offers you some simple tricks to save you time on Google searches.

Find the whole phrase

Simplest command for Google that makes searching much easier. If you enclose the text in quotation marks, the search engine starts looking for an exact match of the phrase, with the desired word order. Very often it helps to find the right page without digging through the garbage.

Find a quote where a word is missing

If you have forgotten a word in a quote, it doesn’t matter! Just put your entire quote in quotes and put an asterisk "*" instead of the forgotten word

Find on a specific site

You looked at an interesting selection on the site about watercolor painters, but do not remember what it was called. The operator site is suitable for this. It allows you to specify the site on which you want to search directly in the request. Just be sure to put a colon after the site.

Search for words within the same sentence

Use the ampersand "&" to quickly find two words that will appear in the same sentence. Helps to narrow your search.

Exclude word from search

Let's say you want to find a salad recipe, but it must be without mayonnaise. Enter your query and put a minus in front of the word you want to exclude.

Let's say you want to find articles about design, but you only get websites for design bureaus, conferences and exhibitions. You can exclude these words from the search by putting a minus sign in front of them.

Search by price

In order not to waste time going to each online store separately, just enter the name of the product and the price range through two dots (..).

Search for documents in a specific format

For example, you are preparing a presentation on the topic "Design History". You can be inspired by other people's works on this topic. Enter a name and then filetype: PPT

Useful add-ons

Calculator. Enter the required action, get an answer and a calculator for further calculations.

A translation of a word. Translating words is fast too. Enter "translate" before the phrase and the desired language after "into".

For example: translate I love creativity into italian

Definition of a word. When someone starts to be clever and throw up incomprehensible terms and words, the “define:” operator will come to your aid, and after it enter an incomprehensible word. Google will give you a definition right away, and you can save time by not going to Wikipedia and other reference sites.

For example: define: creativity

How to find only the information you need.

Every day millions of new documents, photos, videos and other data are generated on the World Wide Web. Every year it becomes more and more difficult to search the net, every now and then you find yourself on something unnecessary, outdated or stretched out by advertisers.

The Google search engine has long suggested using special search operators for a more accurate match, in addition, the search giant can independently provide answers to some questions without redirecting to other sites.

We remember forgotten ways of searching and learn new ones together:

1. Finding an exact match

Why: so that the search engine does not search for each part of our query separately, we use quotation marks. For example, you remember the title of the article, song, or movie you are looking for. The search will be carried out by the exact match of the phrase with the specified word order.

How: enclose the entire query in quotes

2. Exclude a word from the search

Why: to remove unnecessary data in the search results, you can prevent the search for certain words. To do this, after entering the query itself, we list the features that we do not need.

How: in front of each of them we put a dash without a space.

3. We are looking for on a specific site

Why: to start a search on the desired site without going to it, you should use the search operator “site:”. Please note that the website address must be indicated in full.

How: search_request site: full_site_address

Why: liked a certain resource and wanted to find something similar, use the “related:” operator. Google will find the main pages of similar sites without advertising tinsel, and fake results.

How: related: full_site_address

5. Search by file type

Why: if you want to receive data in a specific format. For example, a photo in * .png, a book in * .fb2, a movie in * .mp4, etc.

How: search_query filetype: file_format

6. Range search

Why: if we are looking for something related to numbers, and we want to limit the range of search. We may be interested in data about dates, price, time, coordinates, etc. In order not to receive unnecessary information in the search results, we limit the search.

How: search_query num_from..number_to

7. Search for a forgotten word

Why: forgot part of a word or phrase, cannot remember a quote or guess a crossword puzzle. The best way to search for a phrase with missing words is using the “*” operator

How: we write * instead of each unknown word

8. Search for any of the options

Why: to enter a query once to search for multiple criteria. If we don't have to look for two, three or more options, but we need one of them.

How: use the OR operator

9. Search with all options available

Why: if you need data about several objects mentioned in the same context. In the case of such a search, options will be displayed only with the presence of all the searched words.

How: lookup_word_1 & lookup_word_2

10. Search for profiles on social networks

Why: this way you can immediately find the pages of the person, site or brand you are looking for. The search will be performed on profiles with the specified name.

How:@ lookup_name

11. Search for posts with a hashtag

Why: so you can see the most popular posts on a specific topic, of course, among those who put down the tag specified in the search.

How:#hashtag

12. Time in any city

Why: to quickly find out if your WOT friend from America is asleep or is already awake, to see when the working day begins for foreign partners, or just out of curiosity.

How: time City

13. Weather in any city

Why: a similar search query, but with the weather in the specified region.

How: sunrise / sunset City

15. Stock quotes

Why: for those who gamble on the stock exchange, follow the news, or simply wonder how Apple or Tesla are doing.

How: promotions Brand

16. Currency rate

Why: now this question is of interest to many. So why not search for this information quickly and easily without unnecessary sites.

How: Currency rate (the rate of foreign currency to local is displayed)

17. Unit converter

Why: you can use applications for iPhone and iPad, but it's easier to get rid of unnecessary programs on the device and use conversion from Google. Here you can also find out the exchange rates of any currencies, not just local ones.

How: unit_1 unit_2

18. Calculator

Why: Another way to quickly replace the corresponding application on your smartphone, the program on your computer, or the widget in the notification center. After the first search, we get a handy online calculator.

How: use any mathematical signs +, -, *, / with numbers

19. The meaning of the word

Why: Of course, this method will not replace a capacious and useful note from an explanatory dictionary, but you can quickly find the desired meaning, understand what is at stake or learn the stress.

How: value search_word

Many users of the Google search engine, resorting to its help, notice that often the first time it is not always possible to find the information you need. Perhaps users believe that these are the shortcomings of the search engine itself, but this is not always the case. Sometimes, in order to find very specific information, you need to resort to the help of special tools (operators) of a given search engine.

What is the correct Google search?

For starters, do not forget that the Google search algorithm is case insensitive, in other words, if you enter "Russia" or "Russia" in the query, the search result will not change. However, this search engine is very sensitive to the algorithm of search operators, for this reason the search results for the queries "Windows OR Linux" and "Windows or Linux" can be fundamentally different.

The next thing to consider is that the Google search engine does not take into account many words - bundles, for example, such as "and", "a", "but" and the like. For this reason, the result of search results does not depend in any way on their use.

Thirdly, in order to correctly search in this search engine, you should remember about the presence of certain operators (symbols or words that specify the search) and learn how to use them.

Such operators are used not only by Google, but also by other search engines, for example, Yandex.

So, Google operators who will help you find the information you need:

«+» - best used when you need to find documents containing more than two words, for example, "SEO + tools".

«-» - must be used to exclude from the issuance of documents containing some word for example, "drinks - non-alcoholic". In this case, the search engine will only find alcoholic beverages.

"OR"- is required to search for documents containing one of several words, for example, "woman OR girl".

«“”» - you need to find documents in which there is a certain phrase in the same form in which it is used as a search query, for example "buy TV Tver"

«~» - is required to search for synonyms of words that are specified in the request, for example, "fashion ~ smartphones".

«..» - is used if you need to find documents that contain numerical values in the specified intervals, for example, "300 ... 500 rubles per day."

There are also more popular Google operators for the correct search, among which the average user of this search engine may need the following.

"Daterange:"- is needed to search for documents created in a certain period of time, for example, "fire in Kiev daterange: 20092011-21102010".

"Filetype:"- is used when searching for links to a document of a certain type, for example, "Solzhenitsyn's autobiography filetype: rtf".

"Site:"- is needed in order to find all the pages of the site you need or site pages containing a certain word, for example, "site: dirfreesoft.ru antivirus".

"Phonebook:"- a very necessary operator who searches for phone numbers according to the specified parameters, for example, "phonebook: Omsk hotels".

It turns out that it's not that hard to search Google correctly if you know how.

How to search in Yandex correctly?

Not all Yandex users know the answer to this seemingly stupid question. The reason lies in the fact that the largest number of Internet users do not fully use the capabilities of search programs, which is why in certain cases many search engine users may have any obstacles and difficulties in finding the information they need.

So how can you use the Yandex search engine correctly - the most popular search engine in the Russian-speaking segment of the World Wide Web?

1. If you need to find a specific, specifically formulated phrase. The most convenient way to search for such phrases is to use the "" operator, in other words, in order to find a web-document in which the phrase you need is located, it should be typed in quotation marks. For example, "What files can be excluded from virus scanning?"

2. If you need to find a quote, but you have forgotten some words or simply do not know. There is no difficulty in this. In this case, the entire phrase should be enclosed in quotation marks, and the "*" sign should be put in place of the forgotten words. For example, "I come to you * what more."

3. If you need to generate search results for several words or phrases at the same time. For such an operation, the operator | should be involved in the work, it must be used after each search word or phrase. For example, raspberries | strawberries | Strawberry.

4. If you have to find several words that are in one sentence. When performing this task, you need to use the & operator, it must be placed between the search words. For example, the monument to Mayakovsky & Samara.

5. If you need to find a document that contains a particular word. To do this, use the + operator. It should be used before the search words and should not be separated by a space. Also, the request may contain qualifying words or phrases. For example, a monument to Chapaev + square.

6. If you need to exclude documents containing a specific word from your search. Then you need to use the - operator. It is placed before the words to be excluded and not separated by a space. For example, buy a modern laptop.

7. If you need to find information only from a specific site. In this case, the site operator will help. It is used simultaneously with a colon and is placed directly before the name of the site. For example, PDF site: dirfreesoft.ru

8. If you need to find documents of one type or another. When searching for such files, use the mine operator. It is also used with colons. For example, the instruction for HTS mine: doc.

9. If you need to find information in a specific language. For such a task, you need to use the lang operator, after which you should put a colon and specify the selected language for the documents you are looking for. For example, Angels and Demons lang: ru.

Finding the information you need on the Web is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. Search engines are "getting smarter" every year, but they have not yet learned to read the minds of users.

For example, receiving the request "Napoleon", "Yandex" does not know what exactly the user is interested in: a historical person and his biography, a cake recipe or, in general, a kind of grill installation. It is just one word that has many meanings.

In order for the correct sites to be displayed on the SERPs page, you need to clarify your request, concretize it. And for this there is the language of Yandex search queries. What it is and how to use it, we will talk further.

Operators of "Yandex"

The Yandex search language is a set of special tools (operators) that make it possible to refine the user's request, make it more specific and aimed at a specific category of data.

As a result, there are no unnecessary links and documents in the search results, which greatly facilitates the process of finding the information you need.

All operators are divided into two groups:

Simple - presented in the form of punctuation marks and special characters.
Documentary (or complex) - presented in the form of auxiliary words.

Simple ones include:

+ (plus);
- (minus);
! (Exclamation point);
““ (Quotes);
(square brackets);
* (asterisk);
| (straight line).

Note that the following operators no longer work: tilde "~", brackets "()", single "&" and double and "&&", double less than "<<» и двойной восклицательный знак «!!».

Documentary include:

site,
domain,
host,
rhost,
mime,
lang,
date.

A colon ("url:", "site:", "domain:", etc.) is always appended to document statements at the end, followed by its value.

Today these are all working "assistants". Next, we will look at each of them in more detail: what they mean, how they affect the results, and how to apply them.

In order for the search engine to search only for those pages that necessarily contain a particular keyword (preposition), you must put a + sign in front of it. Several pluses can be used in one request at once.

The rest (unmarked) words will not always appear on the SERP pages.

how to find the volume of a tetrahedron + by + coordinates + vertices;
+ Paget-Schrötter syndrome.

In the syntax of Yandex search queries, there is also an exclusion sign - a minus. That is, instead of marking a word of interest, the user can mark something that he is not interested in. Therefore, the search engine will exclude sites with the specified keyword.

Let's go back to the very first example of this article - to Napoleon. Let's say we are interested in the recipe for the cake. To exclude everything unnecessary from the results, it is enough to add two words with a minus sign:

napoleon-bonaparte-grill.

As a result, we will only see cake recipes, although the word "cake" itself was not used.

Here are a couple more examples of how this operator can be used:

buy acoustics -sven –microlab;
cryptocurrency news - bitcoin.

! (Exclamation point)

By default, the search engine searches for matches in any morphological form (case, gender, number, declension, etc.). To prevent this from happening and the word form to be preserved in a given form, it is necessary to put an exclamation mark in front of the word.

For example:

girl + in! white! dress;
TOP! Crowdfunding! Exchanges.

““ (Quotes)

Quotation marks are used when it is necessary to find an exact match of a phrase. Often used to search for the original source for a passage of text.

For example:

“Bazarov winced. There was nothing ugly in the small and inconspicuous figure of the emancipated woman ”;
"The first reason for the development of chronic bronchitis."

(square brackets)

This operator of the Yandex search query language allows you to preserve the word order. That is, the results will show only those sites where keywords are used in exactly the same order.

Most often used in geographic queries where it is important to capture a direction. For example, searching for tickets one way, but not the other:

buy tickets [Moscow Peter];
train tickets [Voronezh Moscow].

* (asterisk)

The presence of an asterisk in the request indicates a missing word that the search engine needs to find. If the user does not remember part of the quote, he can replace it with an asterisk (there are as many words and symbols *).

Important! Only applicable in conjunction with quotation marks.

“Better * in the hands than * in the sky”;
"Burj Khalifa skyscraper height * meters".

| (straight line)

The straight bar is equivalent to the conjunction "or". It is used when it is necessary to find matches for at least one of the listed keywords.

For example:

iphone 8 | iphone 8s | iphone 8plus;
cinema | movies | serials.

Thus, if the site contains at least one of the keys, it will be listed in the search results.

This document operator allows you to search among pages that have the specified URL. In this case, part of the address can be replaced with *, which means that this part can be changed.

That is, we give Yandex a direct hint where exactly to look.

For example:

mathematical analysis of url: ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/*;
smart links url: www ..

This operator is similar to the previous one, only the search will be carried out not in a specific section, but throughout the site (including all subdomains and web pages).

Let's say we have a favorite resource, and we want to first of all look for information on it. Then we write:

site: econet.ru cheese fondue recipe;
how to conclude a car sale and purchase agreement site: ru.wikihow.com.

Allows you to filter the search results by the domain zone of web pages.

That is, if, for example, you need to find information on sites with the ..ru domain, write "domain: ru". Resources ending in .com, .ua, .net, etc. will not be shown.

how were the elections in Ukraine 2019 domain: ua;
MSU faculties and specialties domain: edu.

Two operators similar in meaning - "host:" and "rhost:" - allow you to search for information on pages located on the specified host.

The result is identical to "url:" if the hostname is given. You can also additionally use *.

"Host:" - recording is performed from the lower-level domain to the top-level domain. For example:

search engine host: www.google. *;
search engine promotion host: www.site.

"Rhost:" - an entry from the top-level domain to the bottom. For example:

Yandex service rhost: ru.yandex. *;
rhost news: com.livejournal. *.

The Yandex query language also allows you to filter the results by the format of the documents found (doc, pdf, rtf, etc.). This is done using the "mime:" operator. It is enough to add it to the request and specify the required format. Anything inappropriate will not be shown.

For example:

studio layout mime: pdf;
inflation in russia 2018 mime: doc.

If you need to find sites in a specific language, this "assistant" will allow you to do this. Today Yandex supports the following languages: ru (Russian), uk (Ukrainian), kk (Kazakh), be (Belarusian), tt (Tatar), en (English), de (German), fr (French), tr ( Turkish).

Examples of using:

mobile-first index lang: en;
Labor Code of the Russian Federation 2019 lang: ru.

The "date:" operator allows you to filter the results according to the specified date. Moreover, you can search for materials published both on a specific day / month / year, and for a specific time interval:

date: YYYYMMDD - on the specified day;
date: YYYYMM * - month;
date: YYYY * - year;
date: YYYYMMDD..YYYYMMDD - in between;
date:> YYYYMMDD - after (or before) the specified date (you can use:>,> =,<, <=).

For example:

news date: 20190401..20190420;
top services for buying links date:> 20190101.

The language of Yandex search queries is a large list of various "assistants", each of which has its own purpose. Perhaps some of them will never be useful to you, but if at least one of them simplifies the process of finding information on the Web, this article was not written in vain.

Use the above operators in your work. Do not forget about other useful Yandex tools as well: advanced search (setting filters for the best result), personal search (when the system remembers the preferences of authorized users), search tips, etc.

Here are some simple rules for forming a query in the Yandex search engine.

The keywords in the query should be written in lowercase (small) letters.

This will ensure that all keywords are searched, not just those that start with an uppercase letter.

The search takes into account all forms of a word according to the rules of the Russian language, regardless of the form of the word in the query.

For example, if the word “know” was specified in the query, then the words “know”, “know”, etc. will also satisfy the search term.

To search for a stable phrase, you must enclose the words in quotation marks.

For example, "china tableware".

To search for an exact word form, an exclamation mark must be placed in front of the word.

For example, to search for the word "September" in the genitive case, write "! September".

To search within one sentence, the words in the query are separated by a space or by &

For example, "adventure romance" or "adventure & romance". Several words typed in the query, separated by spaces, mean that all of them must be included in one sentence of the required document.

If you want to select only those documents that contain each word specified in the request, put a plus sign "+" in front of each of them. If, on the contrary, you want to exclude any words from the search result, put a minus "-" in front of this word. The signs "+" and "-" must be written through a space from the previous one and merged with the next word.

For example, the query “Volga-car” will find documents containing the word “Volga” and no word “car”.

When searching for synonyms or similar words, you can put a vertical bar "|" between words.

For example, by request “child | baby | baby ”documents with any of these words will be found.

Instead of one word in the query, you can substitute an entire expression. To do this, it must be enclosed in brackets.

For example, "(child | toddler | children | infant) + (care | upbringing)".

The "~" (tilde) character allows you to find documents with a sentence containing the first word but not the second.

For example, the query "books ~ store" will find all documents containing the word "books", next to which (within the sentence) there is no word "store".

If the operator is repeated once (for example, & or ~), the search is performed within the clause. The double operator (&&, ~~) searches within the document.

For example, the query "cancer ~~ astrology" will find documents with the word "cancer" that are not related to astrology.

Let's go back to the aquarium fish example. After reading several documents offered by the search engine, it becomes clear that the search for information on the Internet should not start with the selection of aquarium fish. An aquarium is a complex biological system, the creation and maintenance of which requires special knowledge, time and serious investment.

Based on the information received, a person performing a search on the Internet can radically change the strategy for further search by deciding to study the special literature related to the issue under study.

To search for literature or full-text documents, the following query is possible:

After processing the request by the search engine, the result was very successful. Already the first links lead to the documents you are looking for.

Now you can summarize the search results, draw certain conclusions and decide on possible actions:

Stop further search, as for various reasons you cannot afford to maintain an aquarium.
Read the suggested articles and start setting up your aquarium.
Look for material about hamsters or budgerigars.
