Baidu Search Skills

1. Basic Search technology

① " and " operations: Increase the search scope. The operator is either " space " or "+".

Ii"Non-"operation: Subtract irrelevant data. Operator is"-". A space must be left before and after the minus sign, and the syntax is "a-B". Sometimes, the exclusion of information containing certain words helps narrow the scope of the query. For example, to search for information about "martial arts novels" but not "Cologne", you can use the following query:
③"or"operations: Parallel search. Operator is"|". Use"A | B "to search"or include keywordsA, or include keywordsB, or containA,B "'s Web page. For example: you want to query "picture" or "photo" related materials, no two queries, as long as the [image | photo] search can be. Baidu will provide "|" Any keywords related to the website and materials.

④ use double or title numbers for exact searches.
quotation marks must be double-quoted in English. This is especially suitable for entering keywords containing spaces, such as "Cologne", as the site contains its work will be added to the name of the Chinese characters in the space, Baidu will think this is two keywords, "Inner Mongolia Longshoushan Grand Canyon Bie You Tiandi", "to deal with the ancient tombs 2 dragon's trick" such information will appear in the results. In order to avoid this result, it may be useful to enclose it in double quotation marks, that is, "Cologne", tell the search engine that it is a word instead of two keywords, the result will be more accurate.

double quotation marks can be used to search the whole sentence accurately.。 For example, we want to check on the Internet what is a search engine, if the keyword is identified as a "search engine", then the results may make us laugh and cry, because basically some search engine registration, which site is a search engine and so on, but the keyword? Enter "What is a search engine", hey, this time should be clear more!

in Baidu, the Chinese title number is can be queried. With the title number of the query word, there are two layers of special functions, one is the title number will appear in the search results, the second is the title number of the expanded content, will not be split. The title number is particularly effective in some cases, for example, by looking at movies or novels that are popular and popular. For example, check the movie "Mobile phone", if not add a book name, many cases out of the communication tools-mobile phone, and add the title number, "mobile phone" results are all about the film.

⑤ use a good Baidu snapshot。 You must have encountered the "this page cannot be displayed" (Error message for page not found) when you are on the Internet. As for the slow connection of Web pages, it takes more than 10 seconds or even a few 10 seconds to open more. There are many reasons for this, such as the temporary interruption or blockage of the website server, the site has changed links, and so on.

Baidu Snapshot can provide you with a good solution to this problem. Baidu search engine has first preview the site, take a snapshot of the page, for users to store a large number of emergency pages. Baidu snapshot function in the Baidu server saved almost all of the site's most pages, so that you can not link the required site, Baidu for your temporary web page can also be an emergency. And through the Baidu snapshot to find information than the regular link speed much faster.

⑥ Related Search If you are not sure what keywords to enter to find satisfactory information, Baidu related search can help you. You first enter a simple word search, then, Baidu search engine will provide you with "other users searched for relevant search terms" for reference. Click on any of the relevant search terms to get the search results for that relevant search term.

⑦ English-Chinese Dictionary of Mutual Translation
Baidu also wired on English-Chinese translation dictionaries? That's right.
Enter an English word, or enter a Chinese word, and pay attention to the more dictionary hints above the search box. For example, search for "Apple" and click on the "Dictionaries" link on the results page to get high-quality translations. Baidu's online dictionary can not only translate ordinary English words, phrases, Chinese words, and even translate common idioms!
You can also use the Baidu Dictionary Search Interface (http://dict.baidu.com), directly using the English-Chinese translation function.

⑧ Calculator and Metrology conversion

The Windows system comes with a calculator that is too simple to handle, especially if it is not easy to deal with a complex computational formula. Baidu Web search embedded in the calculator function, you can quickly and efficiently solve your computing needs.

You simply enter the formula in the search box, and the carriage return. Take a look at the results of this complex formula:
Log ((sin (5)) ^2) -3+pi
In the Baidu search box, you can also do weights and measures conversion. The format is as follows:
Conversion quantity before conversion unit =? Unit after conversion
For example:
-5 degrees Celsius = degrees Fahrenheit

If you need more information, see the detailed calculator and metrology conversion help.

⑨ stock, train timetable and flight enquiry
In the Baidu search box enter the stock code, train or flight number, you can directly obtain relevant information. For example, enter the deep development of the stock code "000001", above the search results, showing the deep development of stock real-time market. can also be in the Baidu practical search, make the above query.

⑩ Other auxiliary functions of Baidu
A. Phonetic hints
What if you only know the pronunciation of a word, but don't know how to write it, or if it's too much trouble to spell input a word? Baidu Pinyin tips can help you solve the problem. As long as you enter the query word of Hanyu Pinyin, Baidu will be able to meet the requirements of the corresponding Chinese characters hint out. It is in fact an incredibly powerful pinyin input method. The phonetic hints appear above the search results.

For example, enter "Zhurongji" and prompt as follows: What you're looking for: Zhu Rongji-ji

B. Typos Tips
Due to the limitation of Chinese character input method, we often enter some typos when searching, which leads to poor search results. Don't worry, Baidu will give a typo correction tips. The typos prompt appears above the search results.
For example, enter "Tang vinegar Ribs", prompt as follows: What you are looking for is: sweet and sour pork ribs.

2.from getting started to mastering
A.Select the appropriate query term 

Search skills, the most basic is also the most effective, is to choose the right query words. Choosing a query term is an accumulation of experience, and to a certain extent, there are chapters to follow:

① Express accurate Baidu will be strictly in accordance with the query words you submit to search, therefore, the query word expression is accurate to obtain good search results of the necessary premise.

One kind of common expression is not accurate, the mind is thinking about one thing, the search box entered is another matter.

For example, to find the top ten domestic news in 2004, the query Word can be "the top Ten News in 2004", but if the query word for "2004 domestic ten Events", search results can not meet the demand.

Another kind of typical expression is not accurate, is the query word contains typos.

For example, to find the forest heart such as photo pictures, with "forest heart such as photo", of course, there is no problem, but if the wrong words, become "Linceju photo", the quality of search results is far away.

② the topic of query words and concise the current search engine does not handle natural language well. Therefore , when submitting a search request, you might want to refine your ideas into simple, and query terms associated with the subject of the information you want to find.

It is also illustrated with practical examples. A third grade pupil, want to check some famous sayings about time, his query is "the third year of primary school famous sayings about time."

This query is a complete expression of the search intent of the searchers, but the effect is not good.

The vast majority of famous sayings, does not stipulate is for the grade, therefore, "the third grade of primary school" is actually irrelevant to the theme, will cause the search engine to throw away a lot of not contain "elementary school third grade", but very valuable information; "About" is also a word that has nothing to do with the famous saying itself, one such word, It will also reduce a lot of valuable information; "The famous Sayings of Time", "the" is not a necessary word, it will interfere with the search results; "Famous sayings," Famous sayings are usually left by celebrities, in the famous before the addition of celebrities, is an unnecessary repetition.

Therefore, the best query word, should be "time famous".

③ Select query terms based on page features many types of Web pages have some similar characteristics. For example, the novel Web page, usually has a directory page, the novel name generally appears in the page title, and the page usually has a "table of contents" Two words, click on the page link, go to the specific Chapter page, chapter page title is the novel chapter name; software download page, usually software name in the title of the page and the word "Download" will appear. Wait a minute.

Often search, and summarize the characteristics of various types of Web pages, and apply the choice of query words, will make the search accurate and efficient.

For example, look for a Star profile page. In general, the title of the Star information page, usually the name of the star, and on the page, there will be "name", "height" and other words appear. For example, to find Brigitte personal data, you can use "Brigitte name height" to inquire. And because the star's name generally appears in the page title, therefore, the more accurate query way, may be "The name height intitle: Brigitte".intitle:indicates that the following word is restricted to the page title range.

This type of keyword plus the query construction method of feature words is suitable for searching Web pages with some commonality. The premise is that you have to be aware of this commonality (or pre-discover commonalities through experimental searches).

④ keyword selection should also pay attention to two points is: first, pay attention to representativeness. Keywords represent the characteristics we want to search for information, preferably unique, this is the application of the above mentioned skills, such as looking for "Shenhua" enterprise information, only use these two words as the key word, the information will be drowned in a lot of Shenhua team playing football news, but as with "Shenhua-football", To filter the sports information, the rest of the information will be much more accurate, and if you want to understand the use of a software, you may wish to use "a software use method | skills", so that you do not have to see the various download information.

The second is to avoid common mistakes. The first is not to use typos, the second is not to use the keywords too common, third, do not use polysemy as the keyword.

B.Software search Download 

Daily work and entertainment need to use a lot of software, a lot of software is shared or free of charge, can be downloaded to the Internet for free.
① directly to the download page this is the most direct way. The software name, plus the feature word "download", can often be used to find the download point very quickly.

② in the famous software download station software due to the uneven quality of the website, download speed is different. If we accumulate some useful download stations (such as Sky nets, huajun nets, Bathers, etc.), you can use site syntax to limit the scope of the search to these sites, in order to improve search efficiency.

Example: the Internet Express site:skycn.com
Tip: Once the search scope is limited to the professional download station, the "download" feature Word does not have to appear in the query word.

C.Find a solution to the problem

We in the work and life, will encounter a variety of difficult problems, such as computer poisoning, boiled water burns and so on. Many problems can be found on the Internet to find solutions. Because the odds of a certain type of problem are stable, and the network user has a good tens of millions of, so tens of millions of people who have the same problem will be a lot, some of them will put the problem on the Internet for help, and the other people may be the problem solution posted on the network. With the search engine, we can find out the information.

To find this kind of information, the core question is how to construct query keywords. One of the basic principles is that when constructing keywords, we try not to use natural language (the so-called natural language, which is our usual language and tone of speech), but to extract the keywords from natural language. This process of refinement is not easy, but we can think in a way that we care: if I knew the solution to the problem, how would I respond to it. That is to say, guess the expression of information, and then according to this expression, take the characteristics of the keyword, so as to achieve the purpose of the search.

For example, we often encounter traps when surfing the Internet, and the browser's default home page is modified and locked. The solution to such a problem, how should we search? The first thing to be sure is not to use natural language. For example, some people may search "My browser homepage has been modified, who can help me ah". This is a typical natural language, but online and such words exactly match the page, almost does not exist. So such searches often don't get the results they want. Let's look at the core words in this question. Object: The home page of the browser (or IE). Event: Modified (Locked). "Browser", "Home" and "modified", the probability of the occurrence of such information will be the largest, ie may appear, as for the lock, the word is more professional, not necessarily can appear. So in the key words,should at least appear"Browser", "Home" and "modified", this isdescription of problem phenomena。

In general, as long as the problem is properly described, on the internet basically can find a solution.

The mastery of these feature keywords is the difference between a search veteran and a novice. In fact, as long as the usual to do a conscientious, more summary of similar problems, more memory, search skills will be slowly skilled. For the Tutorial class Web page, often appear feature keywords are: tutorials, guide, User Guide, user manual, from getting started to proficient and so on, and in the URL link, usually there will be the Hanyu Pinyin "Jiqiao" to mark this page is a technical help page. It is often difficult to achieve a goal with a single search, but multiple trials will always build a very good search term.

Example: Photoshop Tips Collection

Example: Digital Camera usage Guide

Example: Dreamweaver Inurl:jiqiao
