Google: All the Things!

Google defaults to an “AND” Boolean search for all your keywords

To force a common word (the, a, an, how, where, why) to be included in the search use +word 

or “your search phrase”

• OR is still “OR” 

• For “NOT” try a “-word”

• For synonyms try “~word”  

• Wildcard *  “word * word”

I’m Feeling Lucky takes you directly to the first web page Google returned for your query 

Limit keywords to title, URL or text

• allintitle: (allintitle:word)

• site: (word site:www.blech.com)

Ordering of keywords

• The first word gets the most importance.

• Reorder words if your search doesn’t bring what you want it to 

Repetition of keywords

• Repeating words gives them more importance.  Repeat the second word to give it equal weight as the first.
