4 Google Tricks
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.
