How to improve your Google search Skills?

Google Search Skills

Imagine what your life would be like if Google stops providing its search engine services even for a single day! It is hard to imagine. Isn't it?

It is really very difficult today to imagine life today without the Google search engine. It is possible to stay without food for a day or more, but certainly without Google. Just kidding!

Almost everyone today uses Google for some purpose or the other. Google has made the lives of people very simple and easy going. All the information needed is available just at one place.

People use Google by just typing whatever they want to search, but they never think that their search results can be reduced significantly, if they learn a few simple tricks. So, it is very important to improve your Google search skills.

They must realize how important it is to improve your Google search and must bring it to practice daily, to make their lives simpler and start using Google like an expert.

Following are a few Google search tricks that can help you improve your Google search skills and save a lot of time by putting in minimum efforts: -

Mathematics and conversions:

If you are not able to solve any equation, or if you are lazy enough to do it on our own, you don’t even need to open up a calculator to solve it.

You can simply type any maths problem on Google and it will return us the solution to our problem in a few seconds. Google itself will act as a calculator.
Google Calculator

It can also do the conversions from one unit to the other by just typing what unit is to be converted to what.
For example -  $ 1000 in rupees. 
Google Conversion Search

Use “define:” before any word whose meaning you want to know:

We can save lot of time in looking up for the meaning of a word in different websites by using define followed by a colon and then the word.

For example – define photosynthesis.

Google will give you a definition/meaning of that word at the top of the results and you don’t even need to open any website to see it. Thus, it saves lot of time and helps improve your Google search skills.
Google Dictionary

Searching for Nearest Adventures Places:

In order to search for places of adventure nearest to your home, you don’t need to search much.

By entering "movies" before a ZIP Code or a city name will produce a list of films playing nearby. This is the easiest and the best way to search for a refreshing place nearby. Thus, improve your Google search skills and make your life simpler.

Example – movies 781008
Searching for Nearest Adventures Places

Website search:

If you want to search for any content on only a particular website, then you can narrow down your search to a single website, by using site: followed by a Web address.
For example – by typing site:comfuge.org in your search, you will get results only from the ComFuge-A World of Geeks website.
Power Search site:comfuge.org

An extension to this is to get results only from sites belonging to a particular domain.  You just need to type Site: followed by domain type and it will give you results belonging only to that domain. Thus, it saves lot of time and helps improve your Google search skills.

For example – if we want to get only sites belonging to Edu domain, just type site:edu to your search.

Searching by using suitable prefixes to improve your Google search skills:

This is also very useful method if we want to search for books, articles of a particular author, or if we want only a particular kind of file in our search results.

The two can also be combined to make the search even simpler. It is the best approach for searching technical documents or research papers.

Thus, it significantly helps improve your Google search skills
Example
File type: PDF will only show you specific file type pages such as PDF.

Author: Silberschatz will only bring up pages and documents authored by Silberschatz.
Author Search in Google


Related sites: used for searching sites related to a particular website.
For example - related:www.google.com can be used to find sites similar to Google.
Related search in Google

Use minus (-) to limit the search:

It’s one of the best ways to reduce the number of pages returned.
Using words within quotation marks will reduce the number of searches by removing all the irrelevant searches. Thus, it helps improve your Google search skills.

Example -“alternatives for Google Drive on Linux” will return you only the articles in which the words are in exact order as written within quotes.


Use words within quotes

It’s one of the best ways to reduce the number of pages returned.

Using words within quotation marks will reduce the number of searches by removing all the irrelevant searches. Thus, it helps improve your Google search skills.

Example -alternatives for Google Drive on Linux” will return you only the articles in which the words are in exact order as written within quotes.

Use word within Quotes Search

 

The OR operator (|):

We use this operator to return results with either of the two terms.
For example– Master|mistress will return pages with both master and mistress, while master|mistresswill return pages with either master or mistress.
The OR operator (|) Search

Numeric ranges: 

You can refine your searches by using numeric terms by returning a specific range, but you must provide the unit of measurement. Example - Blur – a new alternative for NFS 2011..2013 will return searches related to blur published between 2011 – 2013. Thus, it saves lot of time and helps improve your Google search skills.
Numeric ranges Search

IPhone $700 $800 will return IPhones in the range of $700-$800.

The tide operator (~):

By including the symbol ~ infront of a word or phrase, we also include synonyms of that word/phrase in our search results. However, it does not work always.

Example - A search for ~refurbish includes the synonym also and returns related pages to refurbishment.
The tide operator (~) Search

Conclusion:

Thus, if you want to make your life simple, you should improve your Google search skills.

Every day, you search several topics on Google, however very few people are aware of some Google magic tricks that are used by people, like an employee who is bored of his work and wants to refresh his mind, a friend who shows these magic tricks in order to gain some popularity and for many users, these tricks are just a fun to learn.

When Google search was launched in market, to make its search engine distinct and unique, they decided to install some doodles, application and Google magic tricks, with a motto of keeping their users interest always high.

I don’t think I should discuss so much about Google’s history. Now, let’s get started with the tricks.

How to access blocked websites from the college?




Site Blocked

Most of the colleges across the world block some websites. They block those websites thinking that those websites will distract the students, and it will divert them from their studies.

The websites which are mostly blocked by them are Facebook, YouTube, adult sites, websites which are the major source of downloads for students etc.

The people who block the access of websites in the college think that once blocked, these blocked sites cannot be accessed.

However, they forget the fact that the students are smarter than they are. Thus, no matter how much access is denied by college, the students find some way or the other to access blocked websites.

If one method doesn’t work, they can try the next method to access blocked websites  and so on.

Here are a few methods by which you can access blocked websites:-

Replace http by ‘https’:-

https://

This is the easiest and the most common method used for accessing blocked websites. Using “https” instead of ‘http’ works in some cases. However, it doesn’t work for all the cases. So, there are better methods to access blocked websites.

Using Google Translator:-

Google Translator

If you listen to this method for the first time, for a moment you will think that I have gone crazy and am talking all rubbish.

It certainly is an illogical method, but it works in most of the cases.

Just open Google translator and type the name of the blocked website in the translate box, and translate it from English to English.

Press enter to see what happens next and you will be surely amazed to see the success of this weird method. Now, you will be able to access blocked websites.

Using Proxy sites to access blocked websites:-


What are proxy websites?
Proxy sites are programs that function as an intermediate application for processing requests from clients, who are looking for resources stored on Internet.

When trying to access blocked websites, we (the client) computer connect to the proxy server, which in turn requests other appropriate servers for connection, files, and other types of resources and services.

So, all you have to do is just Google for a proxy website. Open that site and type the name of the blocked website in the box, and rest job will be done by that proxy sites (examples of proxy sites are www.anonymizer.com, www.projectbypass.com etc.)
Proxy Sites

Even after all these methods, still if you are not able to access some of the sites, then then the last method can help you surely.

By using proxy software to access blocked websites:-


Like proxy sites, various proxy software are also available. These help you to access blocked websites.

These software allow you to bypass access blocked websites even with internet filters set on your institution.

Following are 3 proxy software which I would like to discuss: -

CCProxy

CCProxy

This software provides anonymous surfing.

In addition to the anonymous surfing, this software offers features like DSL sharing, cable modem sharing, wireless sharing, satellite sharing, parent proxy server connection sharing etc.

 Ultrasurf

UltraSurf

One of the most famous free proxy software is Ultrasurf. We can easily install this proxy software on our computer and surf anonymously on the net, and thus easily access blocked websites.

 A4Proxy

It is free proxy software which you can download and install on your Windows based computer.

Note: - Other than the 3 software mentioned above, there are numerous other software available. You can Google it to find the list of other available software.

By changing your DNS server:-

Umbrella

Another very effective method to access blocked websites is by changing DNS server. There are many free third-party DNS services run by other ISP’s. The most popular ones are run by Google and OpenDNS.

You have to change your DNS server settings to the DNS server settings of either Google or OpenDNS.

To change the settings, go to Control Panel --> Network and Internet --> Network and Sharing Center --> Change adapter settings.
Change DNS

Now, Click on Properties. Next, click on Use the following DNS server addresses and enter the DNS server of your choice. Google’s DNS addresses are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, while OpenDNS are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.
Change DNS server

Finally, to save the settings click on OK and then reboot your PC.
Now, try to access blocked websites and you will see that now those sites are accessible.

So, I hope that the methods listed above will help you highly to access the websites blocked by your colleges and offices.

I hope you like the article. Your suggestions and feedbacks are always welcome and you can post your comments into the comment box anytime.
