<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is lot more to efficient Googling than you might think : Recent study shows that <b><span style="font-size: large;">3 out of 4</span> </b>students couldn't perform a "well executed search" on <b>GOOGLE.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here are some crucial tips on <b>refining your Googling..</b></div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;">HOW TO GOOGLE ??</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Search terms called <b style="font-size: x-large;">operators </b>can help you get far more specific results than you would by only using generic search terms. Here are some of the most useful .</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<h4>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b><u><span style="color: #cc0000;">What you want?</span></u></b></li>
</ul>
<br />
</h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b> </b>NYTimes articles about test scores in college, but not their SAT's , written between 2008 and 2010.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<h4>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b><u><span style="color: red;">How to Google it?</span></u></b></li>
</ul>
<br />
</h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b> <span style="color: #38761d;">site: nytimes.com ~college "test scores" -SATs 2008..2010</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
site: nytimes.com mean ---only searches the pages of that site.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
~college mean --- it also searches similar words like university,higher education.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"test scores" mean --- searches for the exact phrase and not each of the words separately.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-SATs mean --- exclude this item from the search.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2008..2010 mean --- show all the results between designated time range..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lets see another example..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<h4>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b><u><span style="color: red;">What you want?</span></u></b></li>
</ul>
</h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A report on the different air velocities of common swallows.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<h4>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b><u><span style="color: red;">How to Google it?</span></u></b></li>
</ul>
</h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Don't ask Google questions.</b> Think about how an answer would be phrased and search for that..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That is never search for "What is the air speed velocity..".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"> <b>filetype: pdf air speed intitle:velocity of *swallow</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
filetype: pdf mean --- searches results of the file type you designate. e.g ppt,doc,jpg etc..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
intitle:velocity mean --- only shows results with that word in the title ( in this case 'velocity' ).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
*swallow mean --- replaces itself with common terms in your search..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lets see another example..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<h4>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b><u><span style="color: red;">What you want?</span></u></b></li>
</ul>
</h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b> Papers </b>about photosynthesis by Dr. Ronald Green and Dr. Thomas Buttz..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<h4>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b><u><span style="color: red;">How to Google it?</span></u></b></li>
</ul>
</h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"><b> author: green photosynthesis "t buttz"</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
author: green mean --- this will search for papers by Green rather than papers involving the word "green".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
photosynthesis mean --- just like a normal Google search. This is where the topic you're looking for goes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"t buttz" mean --- for more specific results ,you can put the authors full name or initials in quotes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="color: #3d85c6; text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;">OTHER GOOGLE TRICKS</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<h4>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b><u><span style="color: red;">Definitions</span></u></b></li>
</ul>
</h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Good for quick word definitions. Just put <b>define: </b>in front of the word you want..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
e.g. <span style="color: #38761d;"> <b>define: oblivious</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<h4>
</h4>
<h4>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b><u><span style="color: red;">Calculator</span></u></b></li>
</ul>
</h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b> </b>For quick math problems don't worry about opening your calculator app. Just type the equation into Google using +,-,*,/ and parentheses for basic functions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
e.g. <b><span style="color: #38761d;">2*3/5+44-1</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<h4>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b><u><span style="color: red;">Unit Converter</span></u></b></li>
</ul>
</h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Easiest unit conversion ever. Just type what you are looking for in a sentence with the units you have and want.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
e.g. <b><span style="color: #38761d;"> 54 pounds in kilograms</span></b></div>
