谷歌(Google)使用起来很简单。您可以在搜索栏中输入任何内容并期待有用的结果。但是，您可以控制Google进行搜索的方式，以增加您以更少的步骤和更高的准确性找到所需内容的机会。掌握(Master)这些Google搜索技巧，您将在未来节省大量时间和挫败感。
1.精确文本匹配(Exact Text Matches)的双引号
当您在Google(Google)中输入一个词组时，搜索引擎会寻找这些词的许多排列方式，试图为您提供最相关的结果。但是，如果您知道要查找的确切文本（例如书名），则可以强制Google仅显示与文本字符串完全匹配的结果。为此，请将您的搜索词放在双引号内。
2. 使用连(Hyphen)字符(Things)表示您不想(DON)搜索的内容(T Want)
您可以在不想包含在结果中的单词前面加上连字符。这可以很容易地从搜索词中删除与您共享重要单词的其他内容的结果。例如，如果您正在寻找 The Eagles乐队，但不希望获得以费城老鹰队(Philadelphia Eagles)运动队为特色的结果，则可以搜索 The Eagles -Philadelphia。
3.使用“站点(Site)：”搜索特定(Search Specific) 站点(Site)
有些网站没有自己的搜索功能，或者它不是一个很好的搜索功能。幸运的是，您可以使用 Google 自己的强大算法轻松搜索任何网站，方法是输入您的搜索词并输入“site:”，然后输入您要搜索的页面的URL 。
请记住，Google无法搜索需要授权的网站部分。换句话说，用户名和密码背后的任何东西。
4. 列出相关站点
如果您想查看Google认为哪些网站与某个特定网站相关，您只需键入“related:”，后跟网站URL。这是发现提供与您通常选择的相同产品和服务的竞争网站的好方法。
5. 使用布尔运算符
布尔运算符是告诉计算机如何处理信息或信息结果的逻辑指令。Google可以与两个重要的布尔运算符一起使用：OR + AND。
例如，如果您搜索Elvis AND Presley，您将获得仅包含两个字词的结果，但如果您搜索Elvis OR Presley，您将获得包含一个或两个字词的结果。
请记住(Remember)，这些运算符必须与所有大写字母一起使用。您还可以使用多个运算符并将它们与此列表中的其他技巧结合使用，例如将术语放在引号中。
6. 使用“靠近我”寻找可以参观的地方
谷歌与其地图(Maps)服务挂钩，并且（只要你授予它位置权限）大致知道你现在在哪里。因此，如果您正在寻找医生、餐厅、图书馆或其他任何地方，只需在 Google 上搜索您要寻找的地点类型，然后点击“靠近我”即可。您将获得一个地点列表，您可以通过单击或单击来联系或导航到这些地点。
7.在引用文本中使用(Quoted Text)星号(Asterisk)表示可变(Variable)词
如果您引用的搜索短语中有一个单词可能有多个可能的答案（或者您不知道），您可以使用“*”作为占位符。这被称为“通配符操作员”，例如纸牌游戏中的小丑(Joker)，可以代替任何其他牌来完成一套。
例如，如果你只记得书名的一部分，你可以用谷歌搜索“War and *”并返回“War and Peace”。Google 有 32 个字的限制，有时在查找长字符串的完全匹配项时会出现问题。
但是， Google(Google)不会将通配符计入此限制，因此您可以替换常用词，例如“and”和“the”，以将更多词包含在搜索查询中，
8.从谷歌获取卡路里信息(Calorie Information From Google)
如果您正在计算卡路里以减轻冬季体重，您可以简单地谷歌(Google)“卡路里”，然后添加您需要信息的食物。这将生成一个特殊的Google工具，允许您更改份量以及快速回答。
9.使用DEFINE或ETYMOLOGY将(ETYMOLOGY)Google(Google Into)变成字典(Dictionary)
如果您正在寻找一个词的含义或来源，您所要做的就是使用“定义”或“词源”这些词，然后在搜索中使用该词。您将获得相关条目以及播放单词正确发音的按钮。这使您不必寻找实际的字典网站。
10. 使用波浪(Tilde)号(~) 查找相似词
如果您在Google搜索中的某个字词前面加上波浪号，您将获得该字词及其同义词的结果。如果您要在搜索中查找某个单词的所有同义词，但没有空间（或精力）将它们全部输入，这会很方便。
11. 用你的声音搜索
您会注意到Google(Google)搜索栏右侧的麦克风图标。选择它，您可以口述搜索词而不是输入它们。第一次执行此操作时，系统可能会提示您授予浏览器麦克风权限(microphone permissions)。这在我们从来没有第一次正确输入单词的手机上特别方便。
12.直接(Convert Units Directly)在谷歌中转换单位(Google)
除非你有某种特殊的天才，否则你可能不会在头脑中将英尺转换为米或将公斤转换为盎司。幸运的是，谷歌(Google)几乎可以立即转换任何一对测量相同事物的单位。
13. 获得快速翻译
您可以直接从Google搜索结果中获取Google翻译。(Google)例如，如果您在Google上搜索“ Horse in Spanish”，您将获得带有音频发音指南的Google 翻译结果。(Google Translate)
14. 获取即时股票价格
如果您想知道您的 GameStop股票表现如何，只需在(stocks)Google中输入股票缩写或“ GameStop股票价格” ，您就会得到一个包含当前和过去股票价格摘要的小部件。当然，这也适用于其他股票。
15.获取准确的当地日出(Get Exact Local Sunrise)和日落时间(Sunset Times)
这对摄影师、摄像师和吸血鬼来说很方便。如果您想知道太阳何时升起或何时落下，只需搜索“日落”或“日出”即可。如果您需要当前位置以外的位置信息，可以在搜索中指定。
16.快速(Quickly)查看您的公共 IP 地址(Public IP Address)
如果您搜索“我的 IP 是什么”，Google 将显示您面向互联网的IP 地址(IP address)。这对于测试您的VPN是否正常工作以及任何数量的网络故障排除方案很有用。
17. 搜索数字范围
如果要搜索一个数字范围，只需在代表范围底部和顶部的数字之间放置两个句点。如果您想搜索在两个特定年份之间发生的事情，或者您正在寻找某种尺寸或长期范围内的产品，这将非常有用。
18 查看页面的缓存版本
如果某个网页当前已关闭，但您需要有关该网页的信息，您可以向Google索要该网站的缓存版本，该版本由其自己的网络索引操作生成。该站点将无法运行，并且您无法登录任何内容，但您仍然可以在该站点面向公众的一侧看到信息。
为此，请搜索该站点，然后选择三个垂直点。然后选择“缓存”，您将看到该站点以前保存的版本。
19. 仅使用Intext搜索页面正文(Search Page Body Text)
如果您想确保在结果中看到的页面包含页面正文（而不是标题）中的特定文本，您可以使用 intext 运算符。这在与诸如“site:”之类的运算符结合使用时非常有用
例如，如果您正在搜索学校网站，您将使用“ Site :”仅搜索该网站，然后使用“Intext:”列出页面正文中包含特定术语的页面。如果该术语出现在页面标题中但未出现在文本正文中，则不会(won’t )作为结果返回。
20. 仅搜索(Search Page Titles)带有Intitle 的页面标题(Intitle)
“ Intitle :” 运算符的工作方式与Intext运算符类似，将搜索结果仅限于网页标题。这是一种很好的方法，可以将您的搜索结果仅限于中心主题，而不是仅顺便提及这些术语的结果。

借助这些酷炫的搜索技巧，您现在可以让 Google 的搜索结果随您的节奏起舞。这意味着花更多时间在网上寻找东西，而花更少的时间寻找它们！
20 Cool Google Tricks to Search More Effectively
Google is straightforward to use. You can type just about anything into the search bаr and expect useful resυlts. However, you can take control of how Google conducts its searches to increase the chances that you’ll find what you’re looking for in fewer steps and with better aсcuracy. Master these Gоogle search tricks, and you’ll save yoυrself а heap of timе and frustration in the future.
1. Double Quotes for Exact Text Matches
When you type a phrase into Google, the search engine will look for many permutations of those words, trying to give you the most relevant results. However, if you know the exact text you’re looking for, such as a book title, you can force Google only to show results that match a text string perfectly. To do this, put your search term within double quotation marks.
2. Use a Hyphen for Things You DON’T Want To Search
You can put a hyphen in front of words you don’t want to be included in the result. This makes it easy to cut out results for something else that shares an important word from your search terms. For example, if you’re looking for The Eagles band but don’t want results featuring the Philadelphia Eagles sports team, you’d search for The Eagles -Philadelphia.
3. Search Specific Sites With “Site:”
Some websites don’t have their own search function, or it’s just not a very good one. Luckily you can effortlessly search any website using Google’s own robust algorithm by entering your search term and typing “site:” followed by the URL of the page you want to search.
Just keep in mind that Google can’t search the parts of a website that need authorization. In other words, anything that’s behind a username and password.
4. List Related Sites
If you want to see which sites Google thinks are related to one specific site, you can simply type “related:” followed by the website URL. This is a great way to discover competing sites that offer the same products and services as your usual choices.
5. Use Boolean Operators
Boolean operators are logical instructions that tell a computer how to deal with information or results of information. Google can be used with two important Boolean operators: OR + AND.
For example, if you searched for Elvis AND Presley, you’d get results that feature both terms only, but if you searched Elvis OR Presley, you’d get results that featured either or both terms.
Remember that these operators must be used with all caps. You can also use multiple operators and combine them with other tricks in this list, such as having terms in quotation marks.
6. Use “Near Me” to Find Places to Visit
Google is hooked into its Maps service and (as long as you give it location permissions) knows roughly where you are right now. So if you’re looking for a doctor, restaurant, library, or anything else, just Google the type of place you’re looking for, followed by “near me.” You’ll get a list of places you can contact or navigate to with a single tap or click.
7. Use the Asterisk in Quoted Text for Variable Words
If there’s a word in your quoted search phrase that could have multiple possible answers (or you don’t know), you can use an “*” as a placeholder. This is known as a “wildcard operator,” such as the Joker in a card game that can stand in for any other card to complete a set.
For example, if you only remember part of a book title, you could Google “War and *” and get back “War and Peace.” Google has a 32-word limit, which can sometimes be a problem when finding an exact match for a long string.
Google does not count wildcards towards this limit, though, so you can replace common words such as “and” and “the” to pack more words into your search query,
8. Get Calorie Information From Google
If you’re counting calories to lose some of that winter weight, you can simply Google “calories in” and then add the food you need the information for. This will generate a special Google tool that allows you to change the portion size as well for a quick answer.
9. Turn Google Into a Dictionary With DEFINE or ETYMOLOGY
If you’re looking for the meaning or origin of a word, all you have to do is use the words “define” or “etymology” and then the word in your search. You’ll get the relevant entry as well as a button that plays back the correct pronunciation of the word. This saves you from having to look for an actual dictionary website.
10. Use Tilde (~) to Find Similar Words
If you put a tilde sign in front of a word in your Google search, you’ll get results for that word as well as its synonyms. This is handy if you are looking for all synonyms of a word in your search but don’t have the space (or energy) to type them all out.
11. Search Using Your Voice
You’ll notice a microphone icon to the right of the Google search bar. Select it, and you can dictate your search terms instead of typing them. The first time you do this, you may be prompted to give your browser microphone permissions. This is especially handy on mobile phones where we never get words typed out correctly the first time.
12. Convert Units Directly in Google
Unless you’re gifted with a special type of genius, you’re probably not converting feet to meters or kilograms to ounces in your head. Luckily Google can instantly convert virtually any pair of units that measure the same thing.
13. Get Quick Translations
You can get Google translations directly from Google search results. For example, if you Google “Horse in Spanish” you’ll get a Google Translate result with audio pronunciation guides.
14. Get Instant Stock Prices
If you want to know how well your GameStop stocks are doing, just type the stock abbreviation or “GameStop stock price” into Google, and you’ll get a widget with a summary of current and past stock prices. This also works for other stocks, of course.
15. Get Exact Local Sunrise and Sunset Times
This one is handy for photographers, videographers, and vampires. If you want to know when the sun will come up or when it will set, just search “sunset” or “sunrise.” If you want the information for a location other than your current one, you can specify it in the search.
16. Quickly See Your Public IP Address
If you search “What’s my IP” Google will display your internet-facing IP address. This is useful to test whether your VPN is working correctly and any number of network troubleshooting scenarios.
17. Search a Number Range
If you want to search for a range of numbers, simply put two periods between the numbers representing the bottom and top of the range. This is useful if you want to search for something that happened between two specific years or you’re looking for a product within a size or long-range.
18 See a Cached Version of a Page
If a web page is currently down, but you need information on it, you can ask Google for a cached version of the site generated from its own web indexing operation. The site won’t work, and you can’t log in to anything, but you can still see the information on the public-facing side of the site.
To do this, search for the site and then select the three vertical dots. Then select “cached” and you’ll see a previously-saved version of the site.
19. Only Search Page Body Text With Intext
If you want to make sure that you see pages in your results that include specific text in the body (not the title) of the page, you can use the intext operator. This is very useful when combined with operators such as “site:”
For example, if you’re searching a school website, you’d use “Site:” to search only that website and then “Intext:” to list pages that contain a specific term in the body of the page. If the term appears in the title of a page but not in the body of the text, it won’t be returned as a result.
20. Only Search Page Titles With Intitle
The “Intitle:” operator works just like the Intext operator, limiting search results to web page titles alone. This is a great way to limit your search results to only central topics and not results that only mention those terms in passing.
You Are Now a Power User!
Armed with these cool search tricks, you can now make Google’s search results dance to your tune. This means spending more time finding things on the web and less time looking for them!
