Tours de recherche de Google du principal 10

Une variété de tours de recherche de Google que la majeure partie du peuple trouvera intéressants et utiles

Bouts de Google

1. Produisez d'une recherche productive

La première chose que vous devez faire pour produire d'une recherche productive est pensent. Vous devez penser à ce que c'est toi veulent vraiment. Vous vraiment devez rechercher Google les mots ou les expressions qui seront *on la page que vous voulez, pas pour une description de la page ou du site Web. Ainsi si vous recherchez un examen comparatif des téléphones sans fil, vous obtiendrez probablement plus de résultats d'une liste de noms tels que SmartPhone, Audiovox, Motorola, et ainsi de suite, que les mots « examen comparatif des téléphones sans fil ».

2. Utilisation des guillemets

Employez les guillemets pour forcer trouver une expression spécifique. Quand vous entourez votre expression avec des guillemets, le Search Engine renverra seulement des résultats assortissant exactement l'expression entière. C'est une technique extrêmement puissante de recherche, mais il n'est pas employé à la majorité de chercheurs de Web. Si vous recherchez sur les deux mots George et Washington, vous obtiendrez plus de 8 millions de résultats. Si vous mettez des guillemets autour du nom entier, vos résultats seront limités à environ 3 millions. Et si votre recherche est sur « le cerisier » de « George Washington », vous obtiendrez seulement environ 12.600 résultats. Vous obtenez l'image. C'est particulièrement important si votre recherche contient ce qui s'appellent le « arrêt expriment » - les mots que Google est conçu pour ignorer, comme « et » « de » et «  ». En incluant ces derniers intérieur votre expression citée, vous obtiendrez plus de résultats visés de recherche.

3. Utilisation de plus (+) et (-) de signes moindres :

Employez le plus (+) et (-) les signes moindres. Le plus juste avant qu'un terme de recherche signifie « ceci DOIT être trouvé dans la recherche ». Réciproquement, si vous trouvez beaucoup de résultats de recherche qui incluent un produit, un mot, une expression, ou un article spécifique que vous ne voulez pas voir, vous pouvez mettre un signe moindre avant que le mot ou l'expression, et ces résultats seront exclus de votre recherche. Vous pouvez même exclure des domaines ou des domaines supérieurs de votre recherche.

4. Employer des WildCards

Use the Asterisk (*) As a WildCard search term. Yes, you can insert an asterisk in your search phrase and it will act as a wild card matching any word in that place in the phrase. Not only that, but you can insert more than one asterisk in place of more than one word in your search phrase, up to the limit of ten search words - and the wild card markers are not counted toward this ten word limit.

5. The Site: Command

Use the site: command. If you are interested in finding examples of the term XMLHttp, but only on sizlopedia.com, then you can create a search like this: site:sizlopedia.com XMLHTTP This will restrict your search to only pages belonging to that web site. You will notice that in regular Google searches, if there are more than two results from that site, the second result will be indented and there will be a link "More results from ..." - this automatically uses the site: qualifier. Also, you can search or exclude whole domains. For example, you can search for tampopo dvd site:co.uk or tampopo dvd -site:com (Tampopo is a wonderful Japanese noodle western spoof by director Juzo Itami that is sure to be enjoyed by Americans. If you really want to get educated IMHO, try to avoid watching films out of Hollywood, as they generally stink).

6. Using The Operators

Use the operators. Besides the site: command, Google understands a range of operators that include filetype: (eg doc, xls, or pdf), intext: and allintext:, intitle: and allintitle:, inurl: and allinurl:, author: (in Google Groups) and location: (in Google News). Google also understands a logical OR, provided it is upper case. This means you can search for a bar in Orlando OR Miami for example. It is useful when targets of searches have alternative or variable spellings: outsourcing bombay OR mumbai. The OR command can be shortened to a vertical bar (|), as in outsourcing bombay | mumbai. Another way of adding alternatives is to use a tilde character (~). Thus if you search for ~food, Google also searches for cooking, cuisine, nutrition, recipes and restaurants. You have a lot of power and flexibility; you just have to make some notes and learn the language that the search engine understands so that you can speak to it. The search engine doesn't get mad or take offense - provided that you know its language, it will do exactly what you tell it to!

7. Use The Advanced Search Page

Use the Advanced Search Page. Fortunately, you don't need to memorize all of the above tricks, since they are conveniently offered to you in various combinations in the Advanced Search option which is always available from the main Google search page.

8. Use Google Groups

Use Google Groups. Google has the most complete archive of usenet and other news posts going back over 20 years. By simply switching tabs from Web to Groups, your search term(s) will be repeated on the Groups archives. I cannot stress how valuable this can be- many, many times when I have not found a proper result on the web, by simply switching to Google Groups I've been able to find exactly what I was looking for.

9. Use New Advanced Search Features

Use new advanced search features. Google has a number of new features including Google Local, Google News (news items from newspapers and other publications around the globe), Froogle - which searches for the best prices on products, and the Dictionary - to get the spelling and / or definition of a word. In fact, if you may have misspelled a word in your search, Google's dictionary will remind you with a link that says "Did you really mean XXX?" and clicking that link will correct your search. Google also provides an Images search facility that brings back results filled with actual images on web pages that match your search terms. One of the lastest new offerings as of this writing in October, 2004, is a mobile SMS search that allows you to send an SMS message to google with your search terms for a restaurant and zipcode, somebody's name and address, or whatever, and get back the results to your cellphone in seconds.

10. Use Correct Characters

When you are researching something in a foreign (non-English) language, use the correct characters. E.g. the German word "WÃrterbuch" (dictionary) -- "worterbuch" doesn't do the job, as it lacks the Umlaut-character.

Perhaps one of the tools you did not mention is the different searches Google has on offer, such as BlogSearch, Images Search, and News Search amongst others. Using these more directed searches can make a lot of difference when searching.
