**5 GREAT GOOGLE SECRETS TO ENHANCE YOUR SEARCH**

Want to know what extra you can do with our favourite "Google"? 
Read this below

Google is clearly the best general-purpose search engine.

But most people don't use it to its best advantage. Do you just plug in a keyword or two and hope for the best? That may be the quickest way to search, but with more than 8 billion pages in Google's index, it's still a struggle to find results to a manageable number.

But Google is remarkably powerful tool that can ease and enhance your Internet exploration. Google's search options go beyond simple keywords, the Web, and even its own programmers. Let's look at some of Google's lesser-known options.

1.     Syntax Search Tricks

Using a special syntax is a way to tell Google that you want to restrict your searches to certain elements or characteristics of Web pages. Google has a fairly complete list of its syntax elements at

“www.google.com/help/operators.html”

Here are some advanced operators that can help narrow down your search results.

Intitle: at the beginning of a query word or phrase (eg. intitle:"Three Blind Mice") restricts your search results to just the titles of Web pages.

Intext: does the opposite of intitle: searching only the body text, ignoring titles, links, and so forth. Intext: is perfect when what you're searching for might commonly appear in URLs. If you're looking for the term HTML, for example, and you don't want to get results. Eg. You can enter intext:html.

Link: lets you see which pages are linking to your Web page or to another page you're interested in. For example, try typing in

link:https://www.oneclick4youu.blogspot.com

2.     Swiss Army Google

Google has a number of services that can help you accomplish tasks you may never have thought to use Google for. For example, the new calculator feature

(www.google.com/help/features.html#calculator)

Let’s you do both math and a variety of conversions from the search box.

Now, suppose you want to contact someone and don't have his/her phone number handy. Google can help you with that, too. Just enter a name, city, and state. (The city is optional, but you must enter a state.) If a phone number matches the listing, you'll see it at the top of the search results along with a map link to the address. If you'd rather restrict your results, use” rphonebook:” for residential listings or “bphonebook:” for business listings. If you'd rather use a search form for business phone listings, try

3.     Extended Googling

 Google offers several services that give you a head start in focusing your search. Google Groups (http://groups.google.com)

This indexes literally millions of messages from decades of discussion on Usenet.

Google even helps you with your shopping via two tools: Froogle

·         (http://froogle.google.com)

This indexes products from online stores, and Google Catalogs

 

·         (http://catalogs.google.com)

This features products from more 6,000 paper catalogs in a searchable index. And this only scratches the surface. You can get a complete list of Google's tools and services at

4.     Google Alert

 

·         (www.googlealert.com)

This monitors your search terms and e-mails, your information about new additions to Google's Web index. (Google Alert is not affiliated with Google; it uses Google's Web services API to perform its searches.)

 

·         (www.google.com/newsalerts)

If you're more interested in news, stories then general Web content, check out the beta version of Google News Alerts. This service (which is affiliated with Google) will monitor up to 50 news queries per e-mail address and send you information about news stories that match your query. (Hint: Use the intitle: and source: syntax elements with Google News to limit the number of alerts you get.)

 

5.     Google API

 

In 2002, Google released the Google API (application programming interface), a way for programmers to access Google's search engine results without violating the Google Terms of Service. A lot of people have created useful (and occasionally not-so-useful but interesting) applications not available from Google itself, such as Google Alert. For many applications, you'll need an API key, which is available free from

“www.google.com/apis”

 

Thanks to its many different search properties, Google goes far beyond a regular search engine. Give the tricks in this article a try. You'll be amazed at how many different ways Google can improve your Internet searching.

 

"Here is one more way to tweak your Google searches"

·         Search Within a Timeframe

Daterange: (start date–end date). You can restrict your searches to pages that were indexed within a certain time period. “Daterange:” searches by when Google indexed a page, not when the page itself was created. This operator can help you ensure that results will have fresh content (by using recent dates), or you can use it to avoid a topic's current-news blizzard and concentrate only on older results. Daterange: is actually more useful if you go elsewhere to take advantage of it, because daterange: requires Julian dates, not standard Gregorian dates. You can find converters on the Web

Also, in case you are looking for an amazing book to read related to "hacking". Here is our pick.

Book name - "hacking exposed 7" written by "Stuart McClure"

Our review for this books is - 4.5 Stars

A little insight of the book is written below :-

"A good introduction to the subject of hacking that mixes high-level descriptions with a reasonable degree of technical depth. This is not a 'how to' book but rather a 'what can be done' with some 'methods and approaches'. The book is better than most we have read because it uses real examples and introduces readily available tools. We found it extremely useful in helping me to consider cyber vulnerabilities and risks within IT systems."
