Here are some not so familiar google search tricks and tips that are very useful.
NOT MORE THAN 32 WORDS - Google will indicate in a message below the query box at the top of the page if your query exceeds the 32-word limit, so keep your search phrases as short as possible.
ORDER IS IMPORTANT - Google searches the words in the order they appear. So TRAVEL WORLD will get you results which are different from WORLD TRAVEL.
INTITLE - Search only the Webpage Titles. Example: intitle:funny pictures
SPECIFY FILETYPES - There are a number of file types searched by Google in addition to standard HTML-formatted pages. Example: Typing filetype:swf ninja games brings back only flash movies on the subject of ninja games. Check out more examples below.
- Adobe Acrobat - pdf
- Microsoft Excel - xls
- Powerpoint - ppt
- Rich Text Format - rtf
- Text files - txt
INTEXT only, NO URL or link - Google searches only in the body text of Web pages-not in links, URLs, or titles. Example: intext:best game
SEARCH WITHIN A SPECIFIC SITE - Use this when you want Google's to search in particular site alone. Example: site:gamerevolution.com arcade games would return results about arcade games from gamerevolution site alone.
ASK GOOGLE TO DEFINE A WORD - Example define: secret
GOOGLE AS CALCULATOR or CURRENCY EXCHANGE CALCULATOR - its as simple as entering 4+4 or any other complex equation. In Currency conversion just put a '?' for the unknown term. Example - 34 INR = ? USD.
