Ten Google hacks to ease your life


   

   A list of the most effective methods for searching material on Google in just a couple of clicks
   If you need to find websites on a given subject rather than those that include a specific phrase, add the “~” symbol to your search.
  Use quotes to search for an exact phrase: These quotes will yield only pages with the same words in the same order as it is in the quotes.
You can search for images using images: You can save the image, and then search or it on Google Images (with the camera button). Similar
images on the web will begin to pop up.
You can also use the minus sign to eliminate results containing certain words. Figure out the word, which you are not interested in, and rerun the search. For example, BMW –car.
Press the mic icon on Google's search bar, and say “flip a coin” or “heads or tails”. This move lets Google flip a coin for you when you do not have one on hand.
Searching within websites is easy too : To do this, type the address of the site, then a keyword or entire phrase from the article and it will show up in the top 5 results.
If you wish to find an article where all the terms you are searching for appear in the text of that page, type in allintext: followed by all those words or phrases.
Similarly, if you want to find pages with your search query mentioned in the URL, type allinurl: immediately followed by your search query.
  If you have forgotten a word or two from a specific phrase, song, or a movie quote, you can use an asterisk sign as a wildcard to help you find the missing word. For example, Crazy * love.
If you wish to translate a word or phrase from one language to another, you can simply search Google for - translate [word] to [language].
