According to studies, a standard user usually consults a search engine between 5 and 10 times a day to resolve a question. The figure is 50-100 times among computer professionals. If we invest so much time we should do it in an effective way. That is why in this blog we will talk about the search parameters that will allow us to find the answer to the question we are looking for more quickly. Parameters, also called operators or wildcards, are a series of elements that we can add to the website and that the search engine (also known as a spider) will use to find a more accurate answer to our query. Let's take an example. If we put Kings of Spain in the search engine and click on the magnifying glass key, the result will be everything related to kings from around the world and all the websites that contain the word Spain.
Of course some websites will match and we will find what we are looking for kings of Spain. But we can make this search much more effective with the ” ” operator ( quotes ). In Belarus Email List this way, if we put “Kings of Spain” in the search engine, it will only search for websites that contain these words literally and together . We have another similar operator that would be the ' it would search for all those websites that contain both words.We can also do it with the “&” symbol that does the same thing as “kings” & “Spain” Similarly we have the wildcard '-' which excludes words . Continuing with the same example, if we want to search for kings but who are not from Spain, we would put: “kings” – “Spain” in this way we would search for websites with the word kings but that do not contain the word Spain. If we have doubts between one or more words, we can use the 'or' operator or the '|' symbol. . Example: “Spain | Spain” would look for the websites that appear in Spain or Spain.
The symbol is used to search for similar words . For example, if we do not know if we put “~ war”, it will look for war, conflicts, battles, or similar words. Example war of Lepanto”, we will find the battle of Lepanto '*' it looks for all those words that contain that same root , for example "Garden*" it would look for the websites that contain the word garden, gardener, gardening, etc... But we can also use ranges of values . For this we will use the '..' . For example, if we want to search for the kings between 1850 and 1860 we will enter: “kings 1850..1860” and it would search for the kings of 1850, … until 1860. image-search-google-blogseas There are many but these are the best known. I'm going to end with 2 more that are still curious and that are going to save us a lot of time. Setting the “filetype: doc” option will force the result to be a Word document, “filetype: pdf” an Acrobat Reader file, and so on.
