Google Advanced search techniques
1. You can complete an advanced search in Google Advanced Search, which helps narrow or refine your search for better, more specific results.
2. Narrow your results to one particular domain type, by adding site: and a domain name to your search terms.
3 letter Domain names
|
2 letter Domain names for country of origin
A complete list can be found on the CIA World Factbook |
3. Use 'Ctrl F' (Control + Find) to search for particular terms easily in a long document, whether from a website or a database article.
4. Use a Google command to limit results to the MOST RECENT: After you get your results, choose the Google Menu Bar, and choose 'Tools'. Then on the far left, at the drop-down menu next to 'Any Time', .you can choose 'Within the last year' (or less, if you prefer), but generally, you can choose 'Custom Range' at the bottom, as often the last 3 to 5 years would be sufficient for a recent search.
5. Use Boolean searching
