In the midst of all search engines lies Google, the most popular and powerful search engine. You type in the
query, and the search engine provides you with the search results. In most cases you’re satisfied but sometimes,
you’re not. This is where learning the proper techniques to type in your search query come in handy and this is what
we’ll explore in this article.
1. Keep It Simple
Keep your search simple and web-friendly. Start by entering one or two words, and gradually adding relevant or
important words, if you’re unsatisfied with the results. Less is more for a search engine; meaning the less words you
query for, the more results the search engine provides as output.
For example:
Put yourself in the shoes of the author, and think of what words he/she would use to write/describe what you’re
trying to find. If you’re looking for a phrase or quote, then keep the order of the words as accurate as possible to
get the optimum search results.
For example:
Better query: [A house divided against itself cannot stand] (part of a quote by Abraham Lincoln)
3. Synonym Search
You can use the synonym search feature to tell Google to even search for synonyms of a specified word in the
search query. This is helpful for when you want to search for a word and all its similar words without having to
spend time looking for them individually.
Using the tilde symbol (~) before a word tells Google to search for the words and its synonyms too. Type your
search query in the format of [~synonym Word other Words] to search for the word and its synonyms in a single
search.
