Applying The Basic Search Techniques

• Use the plus sign (+) to force a search for an overly common word.

• Use the minus sign (-) to exclude a term from a search. No space follows these signs.

• To search for a phrase, supply the phrase surrounded by double quotes (" ").

• A period (.) serves as a single-character wildcard. • An asterisk (*) represents any word—not the

completion of a word, as is traditionally used. Topwebtoday.wordpress.com


Advanced OperatorsGoogle advanced operators help refine searches. Advanced operators use a syntax such as the following: operator:search_termNotice that there’s no space between the operator, the colon, and the search term. • The site: operator instructs Google to restrict a search to a specific

web site or domain. The web site to search must be supplied after the colon.

• The filetype: operator instructs Google to search only within the text of a particular type of file. The file type to search must be supplied after the colon. Don’t include a period before the file extension.



• The link: operator instructs Google to search within hyperlinks for a search term.

• The cache: operator displays the version of a web page as it appeared when Google crawled the site. The URL of the site must be supplied after the colon.

• The intitle: operator instructs Google to search for a term within the title of a document.

• The inurl: operator instructs Google to search only within the URL (web address) of a document. The search term must follow the colon.

Search For Particular Type Of Files

Using The Filetype Operator

The Filetype: operator instructs Google to search only within the text of a particular type of file. The file type to search must be supplied after the colon. Don’t include a period before the file extension.

As an example: Microsoft Word (doc) let’s say you are looking for Albert Einstein Quotes in Microsoft Word format you type filetype:doc Albert Einstein Quotes

Allinanchor operator

Using The allinanchor: Google search operator • Using this operator you can filter your search

results in a way such that Google ignores the title and content of the returned web pages, and base the search relevance on the keywords that other sites use to reference the results. Allinanchor operator can add a magical touch on your search.

• Here an example allinanchor:”wordpress plugins” vs Normal Search Result

Search Google For Music\EBooks\Videos

Searching Google for specific Song, Video, or E-book and browsing million of results will be a difficult mission.. Some results may be useful while others are spams…and at the end you gave up after 4 hours of searching process with no result…:(

That was before.. Now You Have The Below Cool Tips:



Search Google For Music

The following is a Google search string for searching open web directories containing downloadable Britney Spears music files. Substitute the term Britney Spears in the search string for any other band/singer of your liking.

-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(wma|mp3) “Britney Spears”


http://www.google.com.lb/#hl=ar&rlz=1R2ADFA_enLB360&q=-inurl%3A(htm%7Chtml%7Cphp)+intitle%3A%E2%80%9Dindex+of%E2%80%9D+%2B%E2%80%9Dlast+modified%E2%80%9D+%2B%E2%80%9Dparent+directory%E2%80%9D+%2Bdescription+%2Bsize+%2B(wma%7Cmp3)+%E2%80%9CBritney+Spears%E2%80%9D&meta=&aq=f&aqi=g1&









Search Google For ebooks

With some very slight modifications the same search string can easily be used to search for ebooks in DOC and PDF format in my case I am searching for “Moby Dick” story in DOC and PDF format, you can substitute it with your choice:

-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(pdf|doc) “Moby Dick ″


http://www.google.com.lb/#hl=ar&rlz=1R2ADFA_enLB360&q=-inurl%3A(htm%7Chtml%7Cphp)+intitle%3A%E2%80%9Dindex+of%E2%80%9D+%2B%E2%80%9Dlast+modified%E2%80%9D+%2B%E2%80%9Dparent+directory%E2%80%9D+%2Bdescription+%2Bsize+%2B(pdf%7Cdoc)+%E2%80%9CMoby+Dick+%E2%80%B3&meta=&aq=&aqi=&aql=&oq











Search Google For Videos

If you are looking for some specific video files..Here the search string, just substitute “Twilight” with your video name:

http://www.google.com.lb/#hl=ar&rlz=1R2ADFA_enLB360&q=-inurl%3A(htm%7Chtml%7Cphp)+intitle%3A%E2%80%9Dindex+of%E2%80%9D+%2B%E2%80%9Dlast+modified%E2%80%9D+%2B%E2%80%9Dparent+directory%E2%80%9D+%2Bdescription+%2Bsize+%2B(mpg%7Cwmv)+%E2%80%9CTwilight%E2%80%9D&meta=&aq=&aqi=&aql=&oq=-

Search For Free Anonymous Web Proxies

A free anonymous web proxy site allows any web browser to access other third-party websites by channelling the browser’s connection through the proxy. The web proxy basically acts as a middleman between your web browser and the third-party website you are visiting. Why should you do that? There are two common reasons: • You’re connecting to a public network at a coffee shop or

internet café and you want privacy while you browse the web. You don’t want the admin to know every site you visit.



• You want to bypass a web content filter or perhaps a server-side ban on your IP address. Content filtering is common practice on college campus networks. This trick will usually bypass those restrictions.

You can find subscription services and applications available such as TOR and paid VPN servers that do the same thing. However, this trick is free and easy to access from anywhere via Google. All you have to do is look through the search results returned by the queries below, find a proxy that works, and enter in the URL of the site you want to browse anonymously. Examples: inurl:”nph-proxy.cgi” “start using cgiproxy” inurl:”nph-proxy.cgi” “Start browsing through this CGI-based proxy”


http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=inurl:%22nph-proxy.cgi%22+%22start+using+cgiproxy%22&btnG=Google+Search




http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=inurl:%22nph-proxy.cgi%22+%22Start+browsing+through+this+CGI-based+proxy%22&btnG=Google+Search
