Book Description
Using Google Advanced Search is the one book you shouldn’t be without if you regularly search the Web. And who doesn’t search the Web with Google or one of its competitors at least once a day? And if you’re a scholar, researcher or teacher, learning how to comb millions of Web pages for exactly the piece of information you need is critical to your success. Stop wasting time combing through search results that aren’t what you want or need. Using Google Search will show you how to:
use the ~ operator to search for similar words, or to use quote marks for performing an exact search
use wildcards to search for missing words in an exact phrase
search for specific file types
search only a specific website or domain
search only in the title of web pages, the URL or to within the text of the page
search of pages that link to a specific webpage
search in a different language
use Google to locate bargains
specifically search blogs and blog posts
search libraries
search for scholarly and specialty information
perform calculations within the search box
