Recently I did a segment about Google searches. At the end of it, I asked for other Google tips and tricks, or different uses! Here are some excellent tips that one of our community members sent in with other Google uses.

  • The “intitle:” operator It is very useful if you are looking to download things or are looking to really dial in what you’re searching for. For example “intitle:”index.of” will bring up mostly ftp servers.
  • The “.” operator. It may just be a period but it is one of my favorites. When you use a period instead of a space when using more than one keyword Google will search for that string of words together. For example if I search ” Chris.Pirillo” I will get back web pages that have “Chris-Pirillo”, “Chris Pirillo (together)”, “Chris.Pirillo”, and “Chris_Pirillo”. But I won’t get back results that are”Chris blah, blah, blah, Pirillo”.
  • The simple “+” and “-” operators. They’re pretty self-explanatory “+” adds terms and “-” removes terms. For example if I search “Chris Pirillo – filetype:.php” I wont get any PHP documents.
  • The “( )” operator. This one isn’t a earth-shattering operator but it does help make typing my searches quicker. “( )” let you include multiple things after operators. For example “Chris Pirillo – filetype:(.php|.lzx|.aspx)” will not return PHP, Open Laszlo, or ASP documents.
  • This last tip is Gecko based browser (Firefox, SeaMonkey, Camino) exclusive. First you go to Google and search for something ,for example, “intitle:”index.of” Chris (mp3|wav|ogg|flac)” then copy the information in the address bar of your browser. Then hit “Ctrl+B” it will bring up the bookmarks window / panel. Then Make a new bookmark and give it a name ,for example “audio”. Then paste the address you copied into the location/address bar, find “Chris” in the address you copied and replace it with “%s”. Finally give it a keyword say,”music”. Then instead of having to type intitle:” index.of” (mp3|wav|ogg|flac) every time you want to search for video you can simply go to your address bar and type “music Radiohead” and it will search for music in Google using the criteria you defined earlier.
