How Can You Make Google Search Better ?

When we have any doubt we try to ask some one like parents , friends but we cant always expect the right answers. But now we can ask as many Questions that you have to all of our best friends "Mr.Google" Started by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in the year 1995. Even a small child knows Google. A day has come where people say "I Cant live with out Google". Google has created the Biggest Revolution over Internet Search.



In 3 Steps you can get a very good Friend

1) A Computer
2) Internet Connection
3) Browser with Google as Home page

And thats all. You are set to see a new different world of your own

Have you ever thought of making your search results better ? Here I have suggested some ways where you can make your Google Search Better.

1) Open www.google.com and Type in Keywords specific to the search that you make.Try to be specific , Do not use too many words.

2) Google ignores the common words like "How" , "What" , ...
Incase the common word is so essential for you to add in search put a '+' sign infront of it.

Example:



3) Put the Search Phrases in Quotes -> This tells Google to search in the specific order. For Example, If you want to search "TajMahal the world wonder in Agra" as one single phrase ... If it is searched in Google when we give them in Quotes it will search as a Phrase and not as words in seperate.

Incase of Putting Quotes for phrase you may use Dashes. Like this
TajMahal-the-world-wonder-in-Agra

Example:



4) Narrow down the search by adding additional words or phrases

5) Incase you have to search and get a result in between a Range , Enter the range like LowerRange..UpperRange
For Example , In search Tab - Burger $2..$4 where it will search the web for Burger inbetween 2$ to 4$.

Example:



6) To refine your Search in this "http://www.google.com/" site and switch on to Advanced Search
Here you can adjust the settings. There are even get Advance Search Tips

On the advance Search page you can also filter the "Adult Contents" by clicking "Filter using SafeSearch."

7) Google as a Dictionary
In the Search Tab type in as "define:word(for which you need the definition)" - The Search result for this will be the Definition for that word.

Example:



8) Google as Calculator
In the Search Tab in the formula that you want , any mathematical expression for which you want to Google to calculate. You will got the result as the answer for the mathematical expression. For Example, In search tab - "100-200+400" the result will be "300".

Example:



9) Google as Convertor
You can use Google to do any conversions
some of the conversions are Weight Conversion , Temperature Conversion , Length Conversion , etc.

Example:



10) Google shows the Current Time
In the Search Tab search as : "What is the current time in India" - You will get the search result as the current time in India

Example:



There are many more Features that are available by Google. Which you can learn from http://www.google.com/help/features.html

Hope Google as the Best Friend have done a lot of work to help. Lets Thank Google for such wounderful Apps.
