HOW TO USE GOOGLE ACCURATELY: TIPS YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW

Many users don’t realize how deep Google search really is. There are information you will never find if you keep using Google search the casual, usual, random manner. Below are some tips to help you use this tool called Google search accurately.

USE QUOTES

When you want to search for a particular thing, use quotes. In other words, use quotation marks. This will make the search results specific to what you want to find. It will bring out articles that have the whole search sentence included in it. This is mainly because there are a lot of articles online that could have the words you are looking for, but they won’t be related to what you want to find. That makes finding the information you are looking for take longer than needed. Using quotes will shorten that amount of time.

Example; Instead of searching for how to browse on Google, rather type in “How to browse on Google”. This will bring you results with that exact sentence in it.

USE COLON

Make use of colon and direct websites to find information on Google. This is mainly used when you know a website that has information on the topic or information you are after. It is used selectively, as you can only find information on that topic and website chosen. For example, you type what you are looking for and from the website you want it to pop up.

Example; instead of Public Relations in Nigeria, you can type in Public Relations in Nigeria: Jabborropr.com

USE COLON WITH RELATED TO FIND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

When you want to find further information on a particular topic, you can use colon with the word ‘related’ followed by the search term. This will help you find information related to the particular topic you are researching. To better explain, here is an example;

Type Related:Instagram and the outcome brings up sites related to Instagram, which would likely be different kinds of social media since Instagram itself is Social Media. Obscure search topics that have not been well published may not have results to show using this type of search. But the well-known ones will always return many related results.

The above are just 3 ways to use Google accurately. Click this link to find other tips on browsing Google accurately.
