In case it's hard to understand, for the site search insert the following:
site:smallbusinesshub.com Google Tips
all on one line except you can change the website and "Google Tips" to whatever your looking for. Have a nice day!
I also use quite frequently the "inurl:google.com" command for when there is not a definative website.
jefe... do you know what a plethora is?
why guapo?
i would just like to know, if you know... what it is to have a plethora.

you can also search google from your cell phone by sending a search query to 466-45 (goo-gl). they send you what appears to be the top result back as another text message. and all of the tips from above i have tried have worked.
It's obvious to many, but some don't realize that if you click a search result and find a dead link or a removed page, go back to the Google search page and click on "cache", you'll get the content of the page as stored by Google. This page will expire after some time to save it if you need it.
Good tips Dharmesh. A lot of people don't realize that you can see your complete search history if you are logged into your Google account when searching. This is useful when you remember that you found something interesting through Google search "the other day" but just can't seem to find it now.
Regarding Numeric ranges, you can use a lesser known feature called "Google Sets" that allows to create a range of values.

Also check out "http://www.google.com/patents" for some interesting results.
Great tips. I didn't know google was such a powerful tool.
Check out the Google Cheat Sheet for all these tips and more: http://www.google.com/help/cheatsheet.html
I use the link: operator to find what sites link to a particular website (ex. link
www.smallbusinesshub.com), although sometimes the results are very incomplete.
Also, just to extend what Ryan said, you can use weather <city name> if you don't know the zip.
http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/features.html
eveything you need to know is in there.
Great tips.
I'm already using some of them (1,3, 5 and 6), but the rest are quite new (and some of them very interesting).
Also thanks to those who have posted comments pointing out interesting places to look for more information.
Thanks.
"weather in Detroit" gives the current weather of Detroit, Michigan.
Great article, let me suggest
www.crossengine.com, where you can directly query multiple Google services from an intuitive online dashboard.
OOPS! Sorry for the html tags in my last comment, just follow this link then: http://www.crosseengine.com
Please ignore -once again- my last comment (shame on me!, what am I thinking??) , the correct URL is http://www.crossengine.com ,
For all of the above and much much more. You can log into http://www.google.com
Very useful link!!! Try it for yourself.
You won't regret it. I promise
Since I do a lot of Googling for local news...I find searchg "blogs" often gives me more news than just searching "news." Also search videos and photos, etc. - and follow the links.
Good tips here, btw
woo...nice tricks..always had a prob searching for the weather

I'm a designer. I've some "power short-cut" keystrokes while using the design software.
However, there are many other useful short-cut keys that can't often used. I print them out in case I need them.
Your article is like "power Google search short-cut". I'll print them for reference too.
Thanks!

Excellent tips , thanks for your help
Hey - thanks for tip #09 - its new for me. This tip generates useful results also in the .de version of google - for example "Bundeskanzler 1950..1960". Try it ;-)
Greetings from Germany,
Markus
Thanks for the tips, this has also helped me to get my google ads campaign together for my new website
www.sportingconnections.com as it helps me decide what keywords people might be searching for
Wow! That was very informative. Learned a lot more about Google search. 2, 4, 5, 9, 11, 12 -- I never knew about these. Thanks for the posting.
Nice list!
Sometimes it's helpful to click the "Advanced Search" button and change the language or region the pages are coming from (though I don't think there's a way to specify that by your query)
Also allintitle:[your query] or allinanchor:[your query] are helpful when you get a ton of crap in your search, or you think the keywords you're using are liable to be in the title or links to the page (as opposed to the body of the page you're looking for).
Last, if you find your query has a lot of little words (at, the, is) but they are important to your search, put a + sign in front of them and Google will make sure to match them instead of throwing them out.
Hellow.. thank you for your tips how to search in google like an expert.. but I want to know, how about if we want to search more than 1 filetype in google? thank you very much..
typing :lyric after a song title in your search will generally yield the lyrics to almost any song, for instance:
supercalifragilistic :lyric
of course if there's more than one song with the same name you might be able to narrow it down a bit more with the addition of a few words from the song that are less common
One other cool Google trick is to limited your search to include faces only. You can do it via the advanced options. Discuss other tricks here - http://www.search1x.com !
Nice tips. Thanks for sharing.

Half of the comments here are just as bad.
C'mon people, put some effort in your oh-so-subtle SEO optimization efforts...
Hey, this works. Not everyone knows everything. SO what if Google offers them in their help pages - who looks? Thanks for putting them together.
Advanced Google – A Recruiter’s Cheat Sheet
• Keywords must be unique to the required skills. Order keywords by most relevant first. Use quotes for “phrase searches.”
• Use four to eight keywords. Copy the search string exactly, change only keywords. Use no spaces after “~” “-“ and “:”
• Limit the search construct to five Booleans, less if including commands. The best approach is one delivering 40 to 120 results.
TYPE OF SEARCH COPY AND PASTE EVERYTHING AFTER THE >>: INTO GOOGLE - REPLACE UNDERLINED FIELDS WITH YOUR OWN TERMS
Just Resumes
>>: keyword keyword keyword (inurl:resume | intitle:resume)
>>: keyword keyword keyword ~resume (me | my) -~job
>>: keyword keyword keyword (ext:pdf | ext:doc | ext:rtf) ~resume -~jobs
>>: keyword keyword keyword ~resume -ext:htm -ext:html -~jobs
[Append a zip code NumRange to any of the above and instantly localize your search results. Example:
”ASIC Embedded (inurl:resume | intitle:resume) 30002..31999” returns only results in GA]
Personal
Homepages
>>: keyword (intitle:favorites | intitle:bookmarks | inurl:favorites | inurl:bookmarks)
>>: keyword keyword site:members.aol.com resume
[Try replacing members.aol.com with tripod.com, angelfire.com, fortunecity.com, geocities.com,
webpages.charter.net, ourworld.compuserve.com, home.earthlink.net, home.mindspring.com,
home.comecast.net, home.att.net, bellsouth.net, qwest.net, freeservers.com, or use any ISP or host!]
Employee
Homepages
>>: site:members.aol.com @companydomain.com
[Use the e-mail domain of any target company, i.e.: @cisco.com. Also try replacing members.aol.com as above]
>>: keyword keyword intext:CompanyDomain.com -site:CompanyDomain.com (me | my)
>>: keyword keyword intext:CompanyDomain.com contact=me
Association
Membership
>>: AssociationName contact=me also try >>: site:AssociationSite.org (chair | agenda | keynote)
>>: site:AssociationSite.org (filetype:doc | filetype:ppt | filetype:xls) ~contact
>>: AssociationName (~directory | ~contact) (inurl:member | intitle:member)
Alumni
>>: “CompanyName” keyword (directory | contact) (inurl:alumni | intitle:alumni)
>>: “CompanyName” worked contact=me also try intext:CompanyDomain.com my=job ~contact
>>: ~contact (@CompanyDomain.com | intext:CompanyDomain.com) (inurl:alumni | intitle:alumni)
Mailing List
Archives
>>: keyword keyword archive (inurl:list | inurl:mail | intitle:list | intitle:mail)
>>: keyword keyword (index=*=mail | index=*=archive) also try >>: keyword keyword thread index
>>: keyword keyword inurl:msgid also try >>: keyword keyword +to +from subject date sender
>>: keyword keyword (outofoffice | out=*=office | out=*=*=office) (thread | list | index)
[Note the above breaks rules including Googles max 10 rule. However, no more than two keywords can be added.
A third keyword will return an error. This search reveals contact info inadvertently left in “out of office” messages.]
Website Content
>>: site
www.targetsite.com keyword [Searches all the content of that particular website]
>>: site
www.targetsite.com filetype:ppt [Reveals documents from the site. Also try xls, doc, pdf, etc.]
Google Groups
>>: keyword insubject:RE group:*keyword* [finds discussion threads on your subject]
>>: keyword insubject:resume [finds actual resumes posted to Groups]
>>: keyword author:@CompanyDomain.com [finds messages posted from that company]
Wildcards: Used to extend results when current results are too narrow.
~ (the “tilda”) [Finds synonyms | related words, acts like a fuzzy search]
Ex: ~resume [Finds also resumes (plural), CV, Vitae, Curriculum Vitae and others]
Ex: ~software [Finds also softwares, drivers, applications, shareware, etc.]
Ex: -~job [Eliminates pages that don’t mention jobs, employment, career, etc.]
* (word wildcard) [Placeholder for any word. For proximity search use in multiples: * * * one word each]
=*= (wildcard phrase search) [Ex: software=*=engineer finds software design engineer, software test engineer… and so on]
NumRange: Used to find ranges of numbers in sequence, like serial numbers and zip codes
30002..31999 [Zip codes for GA: 30002 = Avondale Estates, 31999 =Columbus]
Ex: product=*=manager intitle:resume 30002..31999
Title / URL: Finds pages with specific words contained in the document name | address
intitle:resume [Finds the word “Resume” in the document name]
inurl:resume [Finds the word “Resume” in the address of the page] HINT: USE BOTH with OR!
Link: Finds websites that contain links to a relevant website. Could be home pages, bios, associations, etc.
link
www.mit.edu [Finds people who have links to MIT on their pages like grads, employees, suppliers, etc.]
* Can’t be used with ANY Booleans or special commands
Site: Searches for content only within that target website.
site
www.anywebsite.com [Ex. “site
www.mit.edu ~resume” finds resumes at the MIT domain]

That is a one beefy list to get your head around. My personal fav is allintitle: also works nicely for me is blog + requirements example seo.
Cool tips.. Thanks for them..
BTW, tips 7 and 8 didn't work for me.. Tried my own phone number but didn't return anything..
If you are looking for a specific phrase or search word that might appear in a long document such as in an article or research paper, click on the "cached" view of the listed page. Your search word will be highlighted in yellow, so you can quickly scan the page to see if it has relevant information.
Useful stuff! I made a Google ; this is a great way to narrow down to the short list.
I think google is really useful - when you put a search in for something but spell it wrong, it'll suggest the right spelling. I like the suggestions it'll offer too when you're typing things.
I use it for doing simple maths too.
I also love the maps button for the toolbar!

hank you for the many tips. Google is indeed a mystery.
When in doubt, ask a question. When I have a hard time boiling my query into a few keywords, I just type my question and search for that. Google usually figures out the keywords for me and gives me the answer. I don't think it would work for complicated questions, or research type situations, but for a simple brain fart where I can't think of the keyword, it works well.
Thanks for these quick tips.
The define function is very interesting. Generally, I prefer m-w.com because most entries include etymology. However, there are many technical entries for which m-w wishes to charge.
The Google define function is more like a wiki, useful most of the time and indispensable the rest.

Hi..
The tricks are highly useful those are posted here. I really didn't know about the calculator option in The Great Google page and few more. It's pretty easy to search anything in
Google by using these tips.
Excellent tips and tricks..We find these tricks very useful at
Vividity Consulting Keep up the good work !
Emphasizing the use of long tail keywords is the best way to teach non literate Internet users about KEYWORDS!
not only does this teach them but also it has created a huge space for marketers and networkers to promote Business in a totally different level..
But knowing Google they always trying to change a adopt so Should We..

its more than great, verry usefull.
Hi Dharmesh,
I don't think the numeric ranges trick which you have mentioned is not working for me as expected. Do you have some more examples if you could specify. It sounds pretty interesting.
By the way its a nice compilation. If you want to know more tricks then find your way into this article: http://techtracer.com/2008/01/06/10-most-amazing-google-search-tricks/
Also do check the bottom of the article for interesting tricks which mostly are missed by casual Google users.
By the way, I see a lot of spam comments. Try to use a filter like Akismet or try comment moderation. My two cents!
With Regards,
Nitin
Yes great stuff, amazing tips. thanks all
Thank you for a great article! I knew some of these (I am a semi-geek after all), but the others were great. Sorry to tell you, but under #7 you say "don't know how it is" and I am SURE you meant "don't know who it is." You can delete this comment after you correct it...

shut up with your ching chong chinese letters
shut up with your niggerness
you are, you said ching chong that is soooo racist!
im not racist, i just hate all blacks and want them lynched.
nigger
A great list of usage. I just used one or two methods frequently. Thanks a lot for elaborating the rest.
I agree with the quotes around the search terms for more accurate results. The specific search will bring less results although more accurate also.
thanks 4 ur valuable information
Good tips!
I would just add the 'date search' - there you find the latest articles to a specific keyword. E.g. if you want to find out if there is new content about your person, site or whatever the latest sites will be up on top.
Cheers!
