Google Synonym search
If you want to search not only for your search term but also for its synonyms, place the tilde sign (“~”) immediately in front of your search term. For example, ~fraud~facts
Now you know why I find stuff you don’t.
Google Domain search
You can use Google to search only within one specific website by entering the search terms you’re looking for, followed by the word “site” and a colon followed by the domain name. For example: “service pack” site:microsoft.com
Never ask me how I found it again.
Google’s numeric range search (Numrange Search)
Numrange searches for results containing numbers in a given range. Just add two numbers, separated by two periods, with no spaces, into the search box along with your search terms. You can use Numrange to set ranges for everything from dates ( Willie Mays 1950..1960) to weights (5000..10000 kg truck). But be sure to specify a unit of measurement or some other indicator of what the number range represents.
Now you know how to identify stuff about someone’s dead father. Too bad it doesn’t work for Junior very often.
