For millions of people Google is an indispensable search tool that they use every day, in all facets of their lives. From work or school, research, to looking up movies and celebrities to news and gossip, Google is the go-to search engine.

But instead of just typing in a phrase and wading through page after page of results, there are a number of ways to make your searches more efficient.

Some of these are obvious ones, that you probably know about. But others are lesser-known, and others are known but not often used. Use this guide to learn more about, or be reminded of, some of the best ways to get exactly what you’re looking for, and quickly.

  1. Either/or
    Google normally searches for pages that contain all the words you type in the search box, but if you want pages that have one term or another (or both), use the OR operator — or use the “|” symbol (pipe symbol) to save you a keystroke. [dumb | little | man]
  2. Quotes
    If you want to search for an exact phrase, use quotes. ["dumb little man"] will only find that exact phrase. [dumb "little man"] will find pages that contain the word dumb and the exact phrase “little man”.
  3. Not
    If you don’t want a term or phrase, use the “-” symbol. [-dumb little man] will return pages that contain “little” and “man” but that don’t contain “dumb”.
  4. Similar terms
    Use the “~” symbol to return similar terms. [~dumb little man -dumb] will get you pages that contain “funny little man” and “stupid little man” but not “dumb little man”.
  5. Wildcard
    The “*” symbol is a wildcard. This is useful if you’re trying to find the lyrics to a song, but can’t remember the exact lyrics. [can't * me love lyrics] will return the Beatles song you’re looking for. It’s also useful for finding stuff only in certain domains, such as
    educational information: ["dumb little man" research *.edu].
  6. Advanced search
    If you can’t remember any of these operators, you can always use Google’s advanced search.
  7. Definitions
    Use the “define:” operator to get a quick definition. [define:dumb] will give you a whole host of definitions from different sources, with links.
  8. Calculator
    One of the handiest uses of Google, type in a quick calculation in the search box and get an answer. It’s faster than calling up your computer’s calculator in most cases. Use the +, -, *, / symbols and parentheses to do a simple equation.
  9. Numrange
    This little-known feature searches for a range of numbers. For example, ["best books 2002..2007] will return lists of best books for each of the years from 2002 to 2007 (note the two periods between the two numbers).
  10. Site-specific
    Use the “site:” operator to search only within a certain website. [site:dumblittleman.com leo] will search for the term “leo” only within this blog.
  11. Backlinks
    The “link:” operator will find pages that link to a specific URL. You can use this not only for a main URL but even to a specific page. Not all links to an URL are listed, however.
  12. Vertical search
    Instead of searching for a term across all pages on the web, search within a specialized field. Google has a number of specific searches, allowing you to search within blogs, news, books, and much more: 

  13. Movies
    Use the “movie:” operator to search for a movie title along with either a zip code or U.S. city and state to get a list of movie theaters in the area and show times.
  14. Music
    The “music:” operator returns content related to music only.
  15. Unit converter
    Use Google for a quick conversion, from yards to meters for example, or different currency: [12 meters in yards]
  16. Types of numbers
    Google algorithms can recognize patterns in numbers you enter, so you can search for: 

    • Telephone area codes
    • Vehicle ID number (US only)
    • Federal Communications Commission (FCC) equipment numbers (US only)
    • UPC codes
    • Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) airplane registration number (US only)
    • Patent numbers (US only)
    • Even stock quotes (using the stock symbol) or a weather forecast regarding the next five days
  17. File types
    If you just want to search for .PDF files, or Word documents, or Excel spreadsheets, for example, use the “filetype:” operator.
  18. Location of term
    By default, Google searches for your term throughout a web page. But if you just want it to search certain locations, you can use operators such as “inurl:”, “intitle:”, “intext:”, and “inanchor:”. Those search for a term only within the URL, the title,
    the body text, and the anchor text (the text used to describe a link).
  19. Cached pages
    Looking for a version of a page the Google stores on its own servers? This can help with outdated or update pages. Use the “cached:” operator.
  20. Answer to life, the universe, and everything
    Search for that phrase, in lower case, and Google will give you the answer.

The Facebook Join To Google+

Posted by manij

the-facebook-and-join-to-google

Many analysts wonder about the likelihood of success of Google’s new social network Google+ and its ability to compete with Facebook. I think we can not compare Google+ with Facebook because it is not just another social network, but it is a new entity on the Internet that made Google restructure its services – we cannot deny that Facebook has the lead in social networking and has a huge user base. But there are reasons that made ​​me think of doing away with Facebook, and use Google+ instead.

1. Integration of Google+ with other Google services:

Of the most important features in Google+  is the  integration  with other Google services, by connecting all of  Gmail, GTalk chat and the personal profile and Picasa , and the Private Messages in Google Plus are the same Gmail emails. Do not forget also the other Google services, where they are a big difference when combined.

2.  The ease in the management of contacts:

Google Circles , one of the most beautiful properties available in the Google Plus , due to its flexibility in controlling the groups of parents and friends in an easy way than the available in Facebook.

3.  Android OS :

“Android” operating system made ​​by Google, the most widely used smart phone system in the market,  certainly will give Google a push to provide its applications to work seamlessly with this new social network , through ease of communication and sharing  pictures or conversation

4.  Easy access to new things and sharing it :

Google Sparks Service , is another feature where Google excels on Facebook. Google used its capabilities and expertise in search , and has provided in Sparks the easier  way to get something new and share it with your friends , unlike Facebook, where to get  a new content , you are obliged to browse outside the Facebook , and certainly  you will use Google to search for it.

5. The ability to download all your data and your information:

Many problems revolved around the privacy and the protection of Facebook users. While Google provides you with a very nice feature to load your data and updates and all your photos. with one Click.

6. Picasa and sharing photos:

Sharing photos in Google Plus is originally Picasa service, which is characterized by a lot of options and tools.

7. Collective Conversation:

One of The wonderful services in Google Plus is  ”Hangouts”  which is a video conversations and the meeting of a group of users at the same . But Facebook has recently issued this feature through  an agreement with Skype to provide video calls.

8. Privacy of share

Privacy was always been too controversial for many analysts and users in social networks , but Google was aware of this issue since the beginning through the idea of ”Circles”  and the possibility of selection of the circle you want when you add each update or writing something new.

9. Google,  best place to store your data:

Building a social network is a host of users’ information on the servers of the hosting company. Google is a more mature company, which in my opinion, it could be trusted more than Facebook. Google logo known as “Don’t Be Evil”.

10.  What can Google do  in the future?

Google has a lot of services that bring in large profits, such as advertising services Adsense, AdWords, and perhaps it will integrate them into Google+  as it did in Blogger and YouTube. Google “CheckOut” is also a great feature that may add to its network.  You can count all Google services and predict how Google plus will be if it was integrated with all of these services.

Google Global Extension For Chrome

Posted by manij

The extension, while still in beta is a little more limited than the Firefox extension as a result of our lack of access to the new API. This means that country selection in search results will not be available through the context menu until the next release. For now, the region selection and settings are only available in the incredibly innocuous icon to the top right of the Chrome taskbar. Our user testing has showed that this is the best place for it and I think you will agree.

You can install Google Global for Chrome by clicking the image below which will take you to the official Chrome extension gallery.

If you install, use and like this extension, we would really appreciate if you could rate it over on the official page. Any feedback or feature requests are always welcome too (we are working on a Bing version, what are we going to call it then?!). If you would like to install the more complete version for Firefox, please head on over to Google Global page in our Internet Marketing Tools section.

Finally, we work hard to maintain these free tools. You would be doing us a huge favor if you could help us spread the word. Any retweet, stumble, Facebook share or a share of any social network of your choice would make us very happy and will drive us to complete the other free internet marketing tools that we have in the pipeline.

How Long Google Will Stay on Top?

Posted by manij

What do you think about Google’s being on Number one? Do you think Google is a revolutionary product or search engine? It may be true? But This is not the reason for being on Top. They are top marketer I believe.

They had only one product it was search engine now they have thousands of companies and the companies are not started by Google. Google Inc. acquires daily a new startup.

I know Google fears so much about being lost in dust of time. It is trying to become an skynet. Google is so much conscious about its existence. In coming future some company can replace Google. Who will do it Google have some guess about it.
