ESSENCE: GOOGLE Search Tips

1. GOOGLE introduction

Google (www.google.com) is a search engine developed in September 1998 by two Stanford University doctoral students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Google Inc was founded in 1999. In July 2000, Google replaced Inktomi to become a search engine of Yahoo. In September of the same year, Google became a search engine of NetEase in China. So far, GOOGLE has won more than 30 industry awards in 98 years.

2. GOOGLE features

GOOGLE supports up to 132 languages, including simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese;
GOOGLE websites only provide search engine functions, so they do not have to worry about anything;
GOOGLE is extremely fast. It is said that there are more than 8000 servers and more than 200 T3-level broadband;

GOOGLE's patented webpage-level technology PageRank can provide search results with a high hit rate;
GOOGLE's search results extract some specific content of the web page, not just the website introduction;
GOOGLE's smart "good luck" function provides websites that may best meet the requirements;
GOOGLE's "Web page snapshot" function can directly retrieve cached web pages from the GOOGLE server.

3. Basic search: +,-, OR

GOOGLE does not need to use the plaintext "+" to represent the logical "and" operations, as long as there are spaces.

Example: search for all Chinese webpages that contain the keyword "Yijinjing" and "suck stars **
Search: "Easy to suck stars **"
Result: you have searched for the Chinese (simplified) webpage about Yi Jinjing's sucking stars. There are about 726 query results, which are 1-10. The search time is 0.13 seconds.

Note: The quotation marks outside the search syntax in the article only serve as references and cannot be included in the search bar.

GOOGLE uses the minus sign "-" to indicate the logical "non" operation.

Example: search for all Chinese webpages that contain "Yijinjing" and do not contain "suck stars **
Search: "yijinjing-attracting stars **"
Result: you have searched for a Chinese (simplified) webpage about yijinjing-Xingxing. There are about 5,440 query results, which are 1-10. The search time is 0.13 seconds.

Note: "+" and "-" are English characters, rather than Chinese characters "+" and "-". In addition, there must be no space between the operator and the keyword. For example, "yijinjing-sucking stars **", the search engine will be treated as a logical "and" operation, and the "-" in the middle will be ignored.

GOOGLE uses uppercase "OR" to indicate logical "OR" operations. However, if the keyword is Chinese or the query has a BUG, the query results cannot be obtained correctly.

Example: search for a Chinese webpage that contains either Branney "Britney" or the Beatles, or both.
Search: "britney OR beatles"
Result: you have searched for a Chinese (simplified) web page about britney OR beatles. There are about 14,600 query results, which are 1-10. The search time is 0.08 seconds.
Search: "branny OR the Beatle"
Result: The webpage that matches your query-branny OR Beatle-is not found.

Note: the lower-case "or" will be ignored during the query. In this way, the above operation is actually a "and" query.

"+" And "-" sometimes play the same role. They are used to narrow down the search results and increase the query result hit rate.

For example, refer to the specific eight parts of Tianlong Babu.

Analysis: If "Tianlong Babu" is used as a keyword, there are 26,500 search results, and the top ranking is mainly related to Jin Yong's novel Tianlong Babu, which makes it difficult to find the desired information. You can use two methods to reduce irrelevant results.

1. If you know one of the eight parts, such as ashboard, and add the "ashboard" keyword, there are only 995 items in the search results. You can directly find all eight parts, "X-Dragon-eight parts ".

2. If you do not know any of the eight parts, but you know that this is related to Buddhism, you can exclude the records related to Jin Yong's novels. The query result is 1,010 items, and you can quickly find the required materials, "Jin Yong, a Buddhist unit in Tianlong Babu ".

4. Secondary search: Wildcard characters, case-sensitive characters, sentences, ignored characters, and forced search

GOOGLE does not support wildcards, such as "*" and "?". And so on. You can only perform exact queries. The keyword "*" or "?" Will be ignored.

GOOGLE is not case sensitive to English characters. The search results for "GOD" and "god" are the same.

GOOGLE's keywords can be phrases (without spaces in the middle) or sentences (with spaces in the middle). However, if a sentence is used as a keyword, an English quotation mark must be added.

Example: search for a page containing the "long, long ago" string.
Search: "long, long ago ""
Result: about 28,300 query results have been searched for "long, long ago". This is item 1-10. The search time is 0.28 seconds.

Note: Unlike searching for an English keyword string, GOOGLE does not fully process Chinese strings. For example, if you search for "Ah, my sun", we hope the result contains this sentence, but this is not the case. Many of the query results are separated by words like "ah", "my", and "sun", but they are not like "Ah My Sun. Obviously, GOOGLE still lacks support for Chinese characters.

GOOGLE frequently-used words (mainly English words), such as "I" and "com", and some symbols such as "*" and ". and so on. If you must require the keyword to contain these common words, you must use the force syntax "+ ".

Example: Search for "Who am I ?" Web page
