Google Tweaks

In this post i have introduced something without which web sounds empty i.e.searching and without this searching sounds empty .........  not that hard it is none other than Google

• KEYWORDS

Google is clearly the best search engine in web refer:  www.pcmag.com/searchengines

most people just plugin some keywords and phrases and hope for the best,but with google's 3 billion pages index it's still a struggle to pare results to a manageable manner .

• SYNTAX  SEARCH

Using a special syntax is a way to tell Google that you want to restrict your searches to certain elements or characteristics of Web pages. REFER: www.google.com/help/operators.html

Here are some advanced operators that can help narrow down your search results.

Intitle: at the beginning of a query word or phrase (intitle:"Three Blind Mice") restricts your search results to just the titles of Web pages.

Intext: does the opposite of intitle:, searching only the body text, ignoring titles, links, and so forth. Intext: is perfect when what you're searching for might commonly appear in URLs

• LINKS

lets you see which pages are linking to your Web page or to another page you're interested in. For example, try typing in link:http://www.google.com

• GOOGLE CALCULATOR

Google has a number of services that can help you accomplish tasks you may never have thought to use Google for. For example, the new calculator feature(www.google.com/help/features.html#calculator) lets you do both math and a variety of conversions from the search box. 

• SPELL CHECK

Let Google help you figure out whether you've got the right spelling—and the right word—for your search. Enter a misspelled word or phrase into the query box (try "thre blund mise") and Google may suggest a proper spelling. This doesn't always succeed; it works best when the word you're searching for can be found in a dictionary. Once you search for a properly spelled word, look at the results page, which repeats your query.

• CONTACTS 

Just enter a name, city, and state. (The city is optional, but you must enter a state.) If a phone number matches the listing, you'll see it at the top of the search results along with a map link to the address. If you'd rather restrict your results, use rphonebook: for residential listings or bphonebook: for business listings. If you'd rather use a search form for business phone listings, try Yellow Search (www.buzztoolbox.com/google/yellowsearch.shtml).


 

• EXTENDING GOOGLING

Google offers several services that give you a head start in focusing your search. Google Groups(http://groups.google.com )

indexes literally millions of messages from decades of discussion on Usenet. Google even helps you with your shopping via two tools: Froogle
CODE(http://froogle.google.com),

which indexes products from online stores, and Google Catalogs
CODE(http://catalogs.google.com),which features products from more 6,000 paper catalogs in a searchable index. And this only scratches the surface. You can get a complete list of Google's tools and services at www.google.com/options/index.html

• GOOGLE ALERTS

You're probably used to using Google in your browser. But have you ever thought of using Google outside your browser?Google Alert (www.googlealert.com) monitors your search terms and e-mails you information about new additions to Google's Web index. 

• GOOGLE API

In 2002, Google released the Google API (application programming interface), a way for programmers to access Google's search engine results without violating the Google Terms of Service. A lot of people have created useful (and occasionally not-so-useful but interesting) applications not available from Google itself, such as Google Alert. For many applications, you'll need an API key, which is available free from CODE www.google.com/apis

• TIME FRAME

Date range: (start date–end date). You can restrict your searches to pages that were indexed within a certain time period. Daterange: searches by when Google indexed a page, not when the page itself was created. This operator can help you ensure that results will have fresh content (by using recent dates), or you can use it to avoid a topic's current-news blizzard and concentrate only on older results. Daterange: is actually more useful if you go elsewhere to take advantage of it, because daterange: requires Julian dates, not standard Gregorian dates. You can find converters on the Web (such as CODE

•  TIP 

Click on the triangle next to an URL to get a list of pages linked or related to that particular URL. CapeMail is an e-mail search application that allows you to send an e-mail to google@capeclear.com with the text of your query in the subject line and get the first ten results for that query back. Maybe it's not something you'd do every day, but if your cell phone does e-mail and doesn't do Web browsing, this is a very handy address to know.
