Stick to your topic with short queries – always start your search with short keywords so that you get search results all around your topic. Your first search will clearly tell you about which keyword you just missed to add so that you can get more accurate results.

Adding quotes to your search words (keywords) – this could be new to you but believe me it really helps google understand which words are of more importance for fetching out the results.

Search sites directly by adding the website address in the search input with your keyword you are looking forward. This way you would be able to search the whole site more deeply. Use this only when you are looking forward towards a specific site for a specific information.

Cut out words from you search simply by adding a minus (-) sign. Once added, this will help google understand ignore or completely block words to appear in search

Cut out a site with same minus sign – yes it is possible to completely block a site to appear in your searches. All you have to do is to add a minus sign followed by the website address e.g. cricket -site:dawn.com

Limit your searches to a specific domain simply by adding the suffix in your search. In this way you would be able to filter your search results for that specific domain only. e.g. scholarships: .edu

Focus on a word by adding the sign of asterisk (*) followed by your keyword. This will fetch you the best possible results and in more a decent way opting out the extra things.

Now a plus (+) sign for the rescue as for most of our searches google give suggestions and synonyms with the message Did you mean this ??. To avoid this simply add a plus sign.

Google is quite clever to understand our ‘Either this or that’ – for this simply add OR in capital letters or add pipe look a like symbol (|) and make Google understand you more.
