Scotty…

You where talking about a apple application that searches google from your desktop… I personaly work on linux and there are two very nice applications that do a very similar job

google desktop… u just need to press twice con the control key and a search windows sown up and allows you to do real time (inline) google searches not only of the internet but also of your own files.

Another is gnome deskbar… This one is very very powerfull and searches your bookmarks, google or yahoo, deli.ci.ous, linux commands, etc, etc, etc… really great app.

Cheers

Keep up the good work

I like to use the command “intitle” “index of” (mp3/mp4/mpg/iso) etc. It actually finds index pages of websites that you can use to find certain files :D

i think that google is trying to become more than an internet browser but i believe that they will not become more than that. yes people say that google docs are good and i even use g-mail but they have so much other software that isn’t too powerful like sketch up and others

by the way Scottie

Wow, I never knew these things ever even existed! Wow, this will make my future searches very much easier when looking up stuff for school and (soon) college. To whoever made these tips: Many kudos to you from me and (I’m sure) other students. Kudos to Chris, too, for doing this video to help us all out!

Hey Chris,
Just thought I’d say that my favorite of all of these is the “-”. I especially use this when I am searching for free programs. For example: If I wanted a free photo editing software; instead of typing: “free photo editor” I would type: “free photo editor -demo -trial” This way I can get the free full software and exclude all of the limited demos and drials.

Just thought I would share what I use these for!

It seems that google is allowing users to use regular expression syntax/”commands” in their search queries. Or, at least, a limited set of them. I’ve heard of people being “google masters” which seems a little weird to me – maybe scotty-google-master can verify/debunk my thinking as far as regular expressions in google search terms.

Great video Chris, I’ve always been curious as to what the special google search query syntax flags were!

I love that movie. It’s Star Trek IV :)

i try to use these “shortcuts” when i am serching for something. i almost never remeber them. oh well, i can just come back here.

Another search tip is if anyone uses Opera you can search many different sites right from the toolbar. For an example if you wanted to search “diggnation” in google you would type in ” g diggnation ” And you can add your own custom ones.

Google is mans best friend. always have safe search on.

Lately whenever I open these video links, I hear Chris talking even if I have not started the video. When I do start the video, I have him talking over himself (about the original subject and about the subject of the video). Accordingly I am now only reading the articles (with my sound muted) and am not even attempting to watch the video.

So, my apologies if these links duplicate anything said or shown on the video:

Hi

Isn’t the period (.) on Google search identical to using quotes to enclose a string as in “chris pirillo”?

Scotty!

QUESTION:

np;) He uses other things for the chat but camtwist is what he uses to stream that part of his screen;)

lol like is there a cam twist for windows or a program like that, and what are the other programs

1)SAY THE NAME OF THE BOY OR GIRL U WANNA BE WITH FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE 2TIMES
2)SAY UR BEST FRIENDS NAME 5 TIMES TO UR SELF
3)THEN POST THIS TO FIVE VIDEOS AND THEN PRESS F8 AND YOU WILL SEE UR CRUSHES NAME ON THE screen

Webcam max, it costs money, and it does suck.. Believe you me..

lol manycam is just like that

Hey chris, i watched this video last week and saw tips on ways to refine searches on google. While watching the video i thought the tricks were pretty cool, but i doubted that i would ever use them to use them, let alone remember them (i have no memory). But somehow i remember the period trick (what.is.your.name to search a phrases with no spaces between the words) and used it to look up a song on google. I had some of the lyrics but didn’t know the name of the song. Everytime i would type the phrase with no periods non-relevent rusults would appear. It wasn’t until i used the periods that i found my what i was looking for.The “Period Trick” is amazing!!!

aaah ese ya lo tengo yo

Me and my friend Scotty loved this.

LOL at the COMPUTAR , COMPUTAR, COMPUTAR part!

Also try this in Google Scotty: an then type what you are looking for.

The ‘%s’ search thing also works excellent on Youtube, Wikipedia, Discogs, etc.
I love it!
