Information UpdateIFISH Meeting - February 2015
Find In Depth Articles
• Sometimes you want to find more about a topic and you find a lot of
superficial news articles and blog posts that keep rehashing the
same information.
• Google shows a list of in-depth articles for some queries, but this
feature seems to be restricted to the US and it's only displayed for
some queries
• How to manually trigger Google's in-depth section?
• Just add &tbs=ida:1&gl=us to a Google search URL and you'll see a
list of 10 in-depth articles from sites like Wall Street Journal, New York
Times, Wired, New Yorker, Slate and more.

Google Asterisk * between terms
• Use the asterisk between two words to stand in for 1-5 words.
• This is useful if you want two of your keywords close to one another
but suspect that there may often be one or two words separating
them.
• For example: solar * panels will find:
• solar photovoltaic panels
• solar water heating panels
