5. When lots ofwords are missing

Ifits the lengthier half ofthe phrase you cant remember rather than asingle key word, try
writing out the first and last words and putting AROUND + (the approximate number
ofmissing words) between them. For example, Iwandered AROUND(4) cloud."

6. Using atime frame

Sometimes weurgently need toacquaint ourselves with events that occurred during
acertain period oftime. Todoso, you can add atime frame toyour search query with the
help ofthree dots between the dates. For example, ifwewant tofind out about scientific
discoveries during the 20th century, wecan write:

(#image7416510)

7. Searching for atitle orURL

(#)

Tohelp find the key words and name ofanarticle, type intitle: before the search term,
without any spaces between them. Inorder tofind the words from aURL, use inurl:".

9. Whole phrases
Framing the search term within quotation marks isthe simplest and most effective way
tofind something specific and inthe exact order you typed itin.
For example, ifyou type inthe words Impickingupgoodvibrations without quotation
marks, the search engine will show the results where these words appear inany order
onawebsite, asopposed tothe specific order inwhich you typed them.
If, onthe other hand, you type "Im picking upgood vibrations" within quotation marks,
youll get only those results where these words appear only inthe order you typed themin.

This isagreat way tofind the lyrics toasong when you only know one line fromit.

(#image7416660)

10. Unimportant search words

Toremove unimportant search words from your query, simply write aminus symbol before
each one. For example, ifyou want tofind asite about interesting books, but you arent
looking tobuy them, you can write the following:
