9 Advanced Tips and Tricks of Google Search

You can use the minus symbol (-) in a search query to eliminate the results that you don’t want to explore.

For example, if you search for ‘best app -android’, the SERP will not show any result that has Android in it. 

If you search for ‘digital marketing course’, there will be results containing these words, but not in exact order. To find the results in exact order, just add the quotations and then search for “digital marketing course”.

If you search for a phrase and want all the search results from a single website, then use this- ‘keyword site:domainname.com’. 

For example, if you search for SEO and want results from Neil Patel’s website only, then try- seo site:neilpatel.com.

Want to find specific file types in the search results? Use ‘filetype:(format) keyword’ to do it

For example, to find PDF files related to SEO, search filetype:pdf seo, and click enter.

Find Related Websites

If you have a photo on your computer and want to find information related to it, you can perform a reverse image search. Open Google Image Search and upload the photo there. 

For example, if you upload a photo of India Gate there, it will show information related to the image. It may also show the websites on which the image is available as well as similar images.

If you want to find the definition of something, just search for define:(keyword). For example, search for define:computer to know the definition of a computer. 

Google Search can also be used to perform direct calculations, such as 20% of 500, 99*45*42, sin90, and it will show the answer. 

In the search bar, type “do a barrel roll’ and click search or hit enter. The screen will start rolling.
