Google Search Tips

Most of our life is almost mixed with internet and everyone is using internet to search for data. There are many search engines available such as Google.com, yahoo.com, bing.com, ask.com etc. However Google is one of the best engine and mostly used search engine too. So it would be helpful to get familiar with Google to search for the data on internet.

Google search results are mostly based on the country and users' search preference. However we can get the proper search result by searching with proper words. If we are looking for specific key words, we may use the keywords within double quotes ("keyword or phrase") to get the proper listing rather than getting them as separate results.

If we are looking for specific file type, we can type the search phrase followed by filetype:fileformat. For example, looking for Visa Application form in pdf format, type Visa Application Form filetype:pdf, which will result only pdf files.

If we need to look for images, we can click on the image tab and search for the images. Then if we need specific size or file format, we can go to advance search and filter the images by size, file type, color, region, licence etc.

If we are looking for a meaning of a word, we can type the word and then meaning or type definition:word will display the meaning of the word with pronunciation.

We will be updating more tips soon
