A guide to google hacks
I have put together a list of some basic, more advanced and fun google hacks to help improve and refine your search
An asterisk (*) is used represents any wordGoogle advanced operators help refine searches.
The plus sign (+) is used to force a search of a very common word for example “the” . Use the minus sign (-) to exclude any term from your search. Dont put a space after these signs.
Searching for a particular phrase, put double quotes(” “) each side of the phrase.
A full stop (.) is used to represent any single character.
More advanced operations need to use a syntax :
operator:search_term
Again don’t put a space between the operator, the colon, and the search term.
The site: operator is instructing Google to restrict a search to a specific web site or domain. Type the website URL after the colon.
The intitle: Google searches for a term within the title of a document.
The filetype: operator instructs Google to search only within the text of a particular type of file. The file type to search must be supplied after the colon. Don’t put a full stop (.) before the file extension.
The inurl: operator instructs Google to search only within the URL (web address) of a document. Place your search term directly after the colon
The link: Google searches within hyperlinks for your particular search term.
The cache: operator displays the version of a web page as it appeared when Google crawled the site. Type the website URL after the colon.
And now for some fun ones
Type xx-klingon in google and click I’m feeling lucky (http://www.google.com/intl/xx-klingon/) believe it or not this is google in klingon!
Type Google Easter egg in the search box and click I’m feeling lucky (http://www.google.com/Easter/feature_easter.html) Help the google easter bunny catch the easter eggs.
