I think Google is the best search engine I ever had. if you also think so then probably you use Google many times a day. if you are using Google by just simply typing few words and changing the query until you find the required results then this article will give you a better way to search on Google.
1. if you want to search specially from a web site and if that site is not support a built in search feature then still you can use google to search that site. simply use site: mobile-pedia.com nokia. Now by putting this query you can get the results about nokia from web site mobile-pedia.com.
2. if you want to calculate some thing just type in the Google search bar and get the results. for example if you enter 675*856 in it then you get the proper answer. so next time when you need to do a quick calculation, use Google instead of calculator :)
3.If you need simply a definition of the word use the command "define:". for example define: psychology
4. If you are ooking to find results of a specific type, you can use the command "filetype:". For example, you might want to find only PDF files related to marketing.
"marketing" filetype:pdf
5. If you want to search for content about marketing, but you want to exclude any results that contain the term management. Simply use the "-" sign in front of the word you want to exclude.
For Example Search: marketing -management
6. If you found an page of your required query and you want to see related pages then just click on the "Similar pages" next to the search result. Google will show thirty sites on the same topic. It's a excellent method to discover interesting sites.
7. The order of your keywords play a vital role in search, so you will get different results for "search mobiles" and "mobile search". So type only the important keywords, in a logical and reasonable order.
8. If you want to find the answer of any question. just place the whole phrase in quotes and use "*" instead of answer.
For Example "* is the shortest person in the world "
9. when you do a search, Google by default will include all the terms mentioned in the search. If want to match one or more terms, then you can use the OR operator but keep in mind that the OR should be capitalized).
For Example marketing OR Finance

For example phonebook: enter the number here
11. if you want to take information of an area code just type the area code Google will tell you where it from.
12. if you want to find results between any of a range of numbers then you just give the two numbers and put ".." between them. mostly useful for years or prices.
For Example disasters 1999..2008
13. If you want to restrict your search to specific domain.

using this Google will only search on the “edu” domain. This works on country domain also.
14. If you want to know about a current position of a company's share in the stock market. just enter the valid stock in the Google search and you will get the financial position with charts and graphs.
