自从发现Google 搜索(Google Search)运营商以来,我们使用世界上最大的搜索引擎的效率已经达到了顶峰。大多数搜索者会懒洋洋地输入一个单词或短语,然后按 Enter 键(Enter),然后希望
Google会为他们完成剩下的工作。在某些情况下,它会奏效。在其他情况下,像符号或额外字符这样简单的东西可以为您节省很多时间。
搜索运算符是一个特殊字符或特殊字符串,您可以将其包含在查询中的某处,以向搜索引擎提供有关如何处理您的搜索词的更多信息。
尽管谷歌(Though Google)尚未解释原因,但在过去十年中,他们一直在偷偷地摆脱一些搜索运营商。+ (plus) operator只是一个例子,它在 2011 年消失了。
Google也不会保留Google 搜索(Google Search)在任何给定时间接受的所有搜索运营商的官方列表。这导致搜索运营商变得有点秘密和失传的艺术。好消息是,我们列出了 21 个至今仍在使用的运算符,我们将向您展示如何使用它们。
基本的 Google 搜索运算符
Google 搜索(Google Search)允许您利用许多基于单字符或符号的运算符来执行一些最基本和最有用的搜索过滤。出于基本搜索目的,您会发现自己使用这些运算符比任何其他运算符都多。
“搜索词”
谷歌(Google)越来越多地允许同义词与您的搜索词相匹配。在您的查询或部分查询中使用引号将强制进行完全匹配。
*(星号)
星号搜索运算符允许进行通配符搜索。在之前、之后或之间使用它来替代任何术语或短语。
–(连字符)
连字符搜索运算符将直接排除其后的任何术语或短语。
- 示例:(Example:) 篮球-NBA(basketball -NBA)
() (括弧)
将搜索词放在括号之间会将其与查询的其余部分分开,从而进行更精细和具体的搜索。像使用数学函数一样使用它。
- 示例:((Example:) 篮球和足球)运动员((basketball AND football) athletes)
条件 Google 搜索运算符
两个条件Google 搜索(Google Search)运算符允许您根据逻辑“and”和“or”语句连接器进行搜索。任何有一点编码经验的人都应该觉得这些非常熟悉。
和
使用此运算符将显示与这两个术语相关的结果。但是, Google(Google)实际上默认以这种方式进行搜索,因此只有当您与其他人一起使用此运算符时,您才会感受到此运算符的影响。
或者
该运算符将显示与两个术语或每个术语相关的结果。
- 示例:(Example:) 体育或游戏(sports OR games)

Advanced Google Searching Using Search Operators
Since discovering Google Search operators, our
efficienсy with the world’s biggest search engine has gone through the roof.
Most seаrchеrs will lazily type in a word or phrase, hit Enter, and expect
Google to do the reѕt for them. In some cases, it works out. In others,
something as simple as a symbоl or extra character could have saved you so much
time.
A search operator is a special character or
special string of characters that you can include somewhere in your query to
give the search engine more information on exactly what to do with your search
term(s).
Though Google has yet to explain why, they’ve been sneakily getting rid of some of their search operators over the last decade. The + (plus) operator is just one example, which disappeared in 2011.
Google also doesn’t keep an official list of
all of the search operators that Google Search accepts at any given time. This
has led to search operators becoming a bit of a secret and lost art. The good
news is that we’ve got a list of 21 operators that still work today, and we’re
going to show you exactly how to use them.
Basic Google Search Operators
Google Search allows you to utilize many
single-character or symbol-based operators that perform some of their most
basic and useful search filtering. For basic search purposes, you’ll find
yourself using these more than any other operators.
“search term”
Google has been increasingly allowing synonyms
to match your search terms. Using quotation marks around your query, or part of
your query, will force an exact match.
* (asterisk)
The asterisk search operator allows for
wildcard searching. Use it as a substitute for any term or phrase, before,
after, or in between.
– (hyphen)
The hyphen search operator will exclude any
term or phrase directly after it.
() (parentheses)
Putting a search term in between parentheses
will group it away from the rest of your query, allowing for a more refined and
specific search. Use it similar to how you would a mathematical function.
Conditional Google Search
Operators
The two conditional Google Search operators
allow you to make searches based on the logical “and” and “or” statement
connectors. Anyone with a little bit of coding experience should find these to
be very familiar.
AND
Using this operator will show results that are
related to both terms. Google effectively defaults to searching this way,
though, so you only feel the impact of this operator when you use it along with
others.
OR
This operator will show results related to
both terms or each term individually.
Technical Google Search Operators
Some of the best Google Search operators are
ones that require a deeper understanding of how domains and websites work.
Using these will allow you to dig up content and search methods that the
majority of Google users will never find.
site:
This operator will limit search results to
only sites that are indexed from a specific domain or URL. This is great for
when you’re researching a site to see what its presence on Google is like.
cache:
This operator unlocks a Google feature similar
to what is offered by the Internet Archive.
Rather than taking you to a search results page, after typing any URL after
this operator, Google takes you to its latest cached version of the website.
For popular websites, the cached version can be as early as a few minutes ago.
For others, it may be several days.
related:
Although Google hasn’t made it clear exactly
how this operator makes its determinations, this search operator will show you
other websites related to a domain or URL. It’s a very interesting way to find
alternatives to sites that you already love.
filetype:
Used alone, this search operator doesn’t
achieve much. However, when you pair it with other search terms or operators,
searching for content by a specific file extension can be extremely valuable.
This operator only works with file types that contain text, but you can search
Google Images for file types like GIF, PNG, and more.
inurl:
This operator will allow you to search for
results based on text found in the website’s URL.
allinurl:
This operator will allow you to search for
results based on if all of the terms following it are found in the website’s
URL.
intitle:
This operator will allow you to search for
results based on text found in the website’s title.
allintitle:
This operator will allow you to search for
results based on if all of the terms following it are found in the website’s
title.
intext:
This operator will allow you to search for
results based on text found in the website’s content.
allintext:
This operator will allow you to search for
results based on if all of the terms following it are found in the website’s
content.
Instant Google Search Operators
If you’ve been on the Internet for a while,
you may remember the time when Google had an “I’m Feeling Lucky” button that
would instantly take you straight to the first result of your search query.
Well, Google Search has a few operators that are something like that. These
will allow you to get immediate, specific results.
define:
This operator allows you to get an instant
definition preview of any word.
weather:
This operator allows you to get the weather
based on any location—by postal/ZIP code, city name, state, or country. The
broader locations will match to the most popular location in that region.
stocks:
This operator shows a stock’s share price, its
recent trend, and a price graph. Information like the closing price, daily high
and low, market cap, and more are also displayed.
map:
This operator will return a result from Google Maps related to any geographic location. You can use any location descriptor: name, postal/ZIP code, coordinates, etc. There are also ways that you can view your Google Maps search history and Google Maps location history.
movie:
This operator is a great way to research all
of the information you could ever want to know about any movie. The results
will be displayed beside an instant preview card that shows its ratings from
credible sites, description, release date, cast, and more.
That’s it! These are the 21 Google Search
operators that you’ll find most useful. There are many more floating around,
and who knows when Google will pull the plug on them, but these operators are
known to work consistently. Many other operators that you won’t find listed
here don’t work as intended the majority of the time.
Once you’ve mastered Google Search operators,
finding exactly what you need becomes so much easier. Memorize these and you’ll
never have to worry about being lost on the Internet again!
