If there is one skill you have to learn because it is the most important in our time, then this skill is definitely mastering the use of the Google search engine, this applies to you regardless of your age, field of study, or specialization of work, how not and Google is the place where you can access anything you want on the Internet !
Yes, Google is the place from which you can access anything on the Internet, but in fact everyone is not good at dealing with it as it should, in order to really get what they want.
In this article, I will discuss with you a wide range of search secrets in Google, which will enable you to access exactly what you want on the Internet very quickly and easily.
First, advanced commands for searching in Google
Search command with a strictly defined sentence
When you place a search word or phrase inside double quotation marks, you are giving a command to Google to show results that contain that particular sentence. This is very important, because Google usually shows a lot of results that do not contain the exact words that we type, so results may appear that are synonymous with the search word you are searching for.
Example: "Profit from the Internet"
Search command at a specified numerical rate
Google allows you to search in specific numerical rates, this is very useful in the case of searching for events in specific years, for example, or searching for products whose price ranges between two specific amounts.
Example: Canon camera $ 300 .. $ 500 The
results will come for Canon camera models whose prices range from $ 300 to $ 500.
The search command to exclude certain words
By using this command, you are telling Google that you want to search for a specific search phrase, excluding a word related to the topic, so the search results will come to web pages that address the topic without addressing this word.
Example: As it is known, there is a car brand called Jaguar, and there is a predator that belongs to the felines called with the same name.
Try the word: jaguar,
then try: jaguar - a car,
then try: jaguar - an animal.
In the first case, you will get mixed results, in the second case all results that talk about the jaguar will be excluded, in the third case all results that talk about the jaguar will be excluded.
The search command to link keywords together
This is important if you want to search for a keyword, as long as it is associated with another word or other words.
Here we use the (+) sign to connect the keywords we are looking for.
Example: Configuration in search engines + WordPress.
Here the search results will all talk about configuring sites that use WordPress, and the results will be related to the word WordPress specifically.
Search command using (or)
This is useful if you want to search for more than one term that is similar, to get results that talk about this or that term. We use this sign (|) to separate the two words.
Example: “Internet Marketing” | "Online Marketing"
Here, the OR command was used with the exact and specific sentence command at the same time.
Search command for accessing a specific file type
By using the filetype command next to the search word and specifying the desired file type, search results will appear only for pages containing that file type.
Example: Dostoevsky's filetype: pdf, here you will see results for pages containing only a pdf file.
Search command for a specific location
By typing the word: site and then the name of any site, you can give a command to Google to show search results from that site only.
Example: Profit from YouTube site:bibotikk.blogspot.com
Search command for links that match keywords
With the command: inurl, you can instruct Google to bring you results that contain links with specific words.
Example: inurl: Bibo tik.
This will bring you search results with the word Bibo tik in the link.
Search command for topic titles that match keywords
With the command: intitle, you can instruct Google to provide you with search results whose title contains the search words.
Example: intitle: kik, here you will be shown the results whose title contains the word kik only.
Web Page Search command for similar pages in content
With: related, you can get pages that are similar in content to any webpage you want.
Example: related: https://bibotikk.blogspot.com/2021/02/how-to-benefit-from-your-cpa-account.html With
this you can get web pages similar in content to the page in our example above.
Web Page Search command for similar pages in content

Example: 7 * 7, you will get the result of the calculation, in addition to that Google will understand that you want to perform calculations, so an advanced calculator will appear for you to perform other calculations.
The command to know the current time anywhere in the world
All you have to do in this case is to write the time zone now and then the name of the country or city you want.

Fifth, general tips and ideas for searching on Google
To get accurate results, avoid generic words
Searching for general words will make the search results more crowded and diverse, and you are indispensable of that of course, especially in the case of obtaining information on a specialized sub-topic, for example a search phrase such as (History of Egypt) will bring you many and varied research results because it is not specific, As for the phrase (The Pharaonic History of Egypt), it will bring you more specific and targeted results.
But the phrase (The Pharaonic History of Egypt, the Fifth Dynasty) will be better, better and more specialized.
The search sentence order makes a difference in the ranking of the search results
The Google search engine works according to the priority of the words and accordingly prepares the results and arranges them, for example the search results for the YouTube case study sentence differs from the search results for the YouTube case study sentence, you can try it yourself.
You have to possess the spirit of an inquisitive researcher (don't give up easily)
Phrase your research statements in a different way. The topic you are looking for may be addressed but in a different form than you thought.
Read the search results and try to reach a new thread, to start the search process over in a more professional manner.
Case, punctuation, and spelling are all unimportant
In the case of searching in English, writing words in capital letters does not produce different results than writing them in small letters, also it is not important to end your search sentence with a question mark or with a period.
Do not forget to share the topic from your friends in order for the benefit to prevail.
