In this age of information overload, search engines have become almost our "second brain." Whether it's studying, working, or just everyday life, we rely on them for answers. But do you often find yourself in a situation where you enter a keyword but can't find what you're looking for?
In this age of information overload, search engines have become almost our "second brain." Whether it's studying, working, or just everyday life, we rely on them for answers. But do you often find yourself in a situation where you enter a keyword but can't find what you're looking for? Or are you overwhelmed by the overwhelming amount of results and feel overwhelmed?
The difference between skilled searchers and those who don't is not just efficiency, but also cognitive dissonance.
- Parallel Precision Search
If you need to search for two keywords simultaneously, but the two keywords don't connect, you can use a parallel search.
The format is: A|B
For example, I want to search for two keywords: e-reader and kindle.
- Restricting Searches to Titles
If the search results contain the keywords we entered, we can use intitle: to restrict them.
For example, I want to search for keywords that contain e-reader keywords in the title.
Enter keyword: title: e-reader.
- Exact Match Search
Use "," for example, typing "big data industry" in Google means that the five words "big data industry" must be combined.
Without "," the search results will display "big data" and "industry" side by side, which is not as precise a match. 4. Fuzzy matching (essential for finding songs)
If you want to search for certain information, but you cannot remember the key content you want to search for completely, such as lyrics or movie lines, you can use fuzzy matching and use "*" to replace the content you forgot:
- Search targeting a certain website
Use "keyword site: website", for example, type "e-paper book site:Book.com" in the search box
