Whether it is for personal or official, most of us browser Google. Indeed Google is the most preferred search engine on the net. A recent study reported that as many as 54% use Google as search engine, then next comes Yahoo (19%) followed by MSN (13%). This statistics shows how Google is popular among all the known search engines.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, <span class=\"my-highlight\">many of us do not know how to get better search results in Google<\/span>. Google has made some operators so that we could get efficient search engine results. This blog post will throw a highlight on those operators.<\/p>\n<p class=\"notebox\"><strong>&#8220;+&#8221; (plus sign):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If we prefix the keyword with plus sign, then Google returns the results which contain that keyword. For example, +music shows the results that contain the word music in it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"notebox\"><strong>&#8220;-&#8221; (minus sign):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If we prefix the keyword with minus sign, then Google will show the sites      that does not contain that word. For example, -music shows the results that do not contain the word music in it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"notebox\"><strong>&#8220;|&#8221; (pipe sign):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This means OR. For example, music|movie results in the documents that      contain one of those words. <span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"notebox\"><strong>&#8220;&#8230;&#8221; (Quotation mark):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This results in the sites that contain the full phrase. For example, \u201cfree music\u201d in Google results in the sites that contain free music.<\/p>\n<p class=\"notebox\"><strong>&#8220;~&#8221; :<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If we use ~ symbol with the word, then it shows similar sites. For example, ~home results in the sites that contain the words similar to home like house, apartment, flat, mansion etc.<\/p>\n<p class=\"notebox\"><strong>&#8220;*&#8221;  (star sign):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It results in wildcard search. For example, *free results in the documents that contain free something line free music, free movies, free software, free ebooks, etc. <\/p>\n<p class=\"notebox\"><strong>site:www.abcxyz.com<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This operator results in the pages of the desired site. For example, site:www.onlinedownloads.org will result in the sites that are part of OnlineDownloads.ORG<\/p>\n<p class=\"notebox\"><strong>related:www.google.com<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This operator results in the sites that are similar to Google. So the search results in similar sites that you are searching for.<\/p>\n<p class=\"notebox\"><strong>info:www.google.com<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This results in the information about the website you are searching for. For example, info:www.google.com will show the information about Google.<\/p>\n<p class=\"notebox\"><strong>cache:www.google.com<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This results in the Google cache pages. It is used when the site you are searching for is down; then Google displays the cache pages. It is also helpful when the webmasters lose their site accidentally.<\/p>\n<p class=\"notebox\"><strong>Calculator:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Google has a built in calculator that solves arithmetic problems. It can even solve complex mathematical problems such as 5035+9*9.<\/p>\n<p class=\"notebox\"><strong>Currency Converter:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Google provides you a currency converter in its search box. You can convert USD into GBP, INR into USD and many more.<\/p>\n<p>These are only some of the unique functions provided by Google as the search engine. <span class=\"my-highlight\">Google knows your needs and serves you the best<\/span>. Access the above operators and have an efficient Google results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[myAdsense] Everybody loves to search Google.
