1.Search for Similar Websites
There are times when we like something online and want to get more websites similar to it. You can do that with this simple trick.
Type "related:" and then the name of the website. Don't use any space in between the colon and the name of the website.
2. When you forgot most of the words
Sometimes we want to search for a big sentence or phrase on Google but we can't remember the entire sentence. In that case we have to type the part we remembered and use "AROUND (Number of missing words) " For example: I want to search for the poem 'I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud'. I can also type 'I Wandered AROUND(3) Cloud'. Google will use it's magic and give you the poem I wanted.
3. Searching for a specific file type
Sometimes we have to search for a specific file type. At that time type the file you want and later add "filetype:" and then the type. Then after search you will only get files of that file type.
4. Use of Search Operators
Search Operators can come to a great use if you know its use. We only have to use "+" or "-" sign. For example: I want to search for all Spider-Man related Marvel article. So I will type "Marvel +Spider-Man". But if I want the other websites to not include Spider-Man, I will type "Marvel -Spider-Man".
5. Articles from a specific site
We can search for articles in a specific website using Google. Suppose I want an article about Augmented reality from The Verge website. Then I would use "site:" in the search.
