Pete Freitag4 Google Tricks
September 21, 2005
Here are four things I didn't know you could do in a google search until recently:
- Fuzzy Search - Search for ~music player, and google searches for
music player,mp3 player,audio player, and other words that have similar meanings to music., - Number Ranges - Searches for a range of numbers, for example mp3 player 20..60 GB will match 20, 40, and 60GB mp3 players (and any other number inbetween).
- Wildcard - When you place a
*in your query, google will match any word in between. For example: apple * player matchesapple ipod player,apple mp3 player, etc. - Search Page Title only - Use the
allintitle:operator to search only page titles. For example: allintitle:ipod Searches for any page with ipod in the title. You can also useintitle:to match just one word.

nice find! I use +,-,* regularly, and allintitle together with the rest of the advanced operators are documented at http://www.google.com/help/operators.html, but I had never seen tilde (~) and the range operator (..) as used here... feels kinda perlish :).
can you say where these are documented?
thanks,
