Optimizing Search Query

There are few techniques using which we can make our search query more efficient and more specific..

1. "our_query" : searches results that contains exact phrasing ,with no change to the order of
words.eg."antivirus"


2. '-' : eg. 'anti-virus'
Here anti-virus will omit the search for anti or virus....so our search will be
more efficient.


3. '*' :Using * will tell that we are looking for additional terms and want to include
them in the search. eg. toyota*


4. 'OR' : To search one of the two phrases
eg. toyata OR Audi


Additional Google Commands:


1.' Title:Ur_query': to return pages with the query enclosed in the page title.


2.'site:Ur_query': to return the search result from the specific website.
eg. cell phone site:http://www.makeuseofcom
In the above query the search result will consist of cell
information that are available in the website
http://www.makeuseof.com.


3.'+' : Yields results that definetely include the words after the plus sign.
eg. 'toyata+news'
