Advanced Search Operators with Google



Andreas describes and demos some of the advanced search operators that Google uses to find exactly the data you want! (Most of these will work in any browser / search engine, by the way!)

A search operator or a search parameter is a character or string of characters used in a search engine query to narrow the focus of the search. ‘Search Operators’ are specific commands we can use in search engines to refine search results. Search operators are powerful and can save searchers a lot of time, especially since most operators can be used together.

Operator
Description
Example
site:
Get results from certain sites or domains.
olympics site:nbc.com and olympics site:.gov
link:
Find pages that link to a certain page.
link:youtube.com
related:
Find sites that are similar to a web address you already know.
related:time.com
-
When you use a dash before a word or site, it excludes sites with that info from your results. This is useful for words with multiple meanings, like Jaguar the car brand and jaguar the animal.
jaguar speed -car or pandas -site:wikipedia.org
"
When you put a word or phrase in quotes, the results will only include pages with the same words in the same order as the ones inside the quotes. Only use this if you’re looking for an exact word or phrase, otherwise you’ll exclude many helpful results by mistake.
"imagine all the people"
OR
Find pages that might use one of several words.
marathon OR race
