1. What is Google?
Google is a full-text search engine, which uses computerized "spiders" to index millions, sometimes billions, of pages, allowing for much narrower searches than searchable subject index, which searches only the titles and descriptions of sites, and doesn't search individual pages Google is case-insensitive. If you search for Three, tHRee, THREE, or even THREE, you get the same results. Singular is different from plural. Searches for apple and apples turn up different pages The order of words matters. Google considers the first word most important, the second word next, and so on Google ignores most little words, including include "I," "where," "how," "the," "of," "an," "for," "from," "how," 'it," "in," and "is,. Google ignores most punctuation, except apostrophes, hyphens, and quote marks Google returns pages that match your search terms exactly Google search word limit is 32

Google Indexer
This index is sorted alphabetically by search term, with each index entry storing a list of documents in which the term appears and the location within the text where it occurs
Phrase Searches
Enter key words search techniques. Google will find matches where the keywords appear anywhere on the page If you want Google to find you matches where the keywords appear together as a phrase, surround them with quotes, like this search techniques
2.
Basic Boolean
Google's Boolean default is AND, which means that if you enter query words without modifiers, Google will search for all your query words If you prefer to specify that any one word or phrase is acceptable, put an OR (in capital letter), lower case or wont work correctly. For example: enter Yahoo OR Google. A computer programming character | can work like OR (e.g. Yahoo | Google) If you want to search for a particular term along with two or more other terms, group the other terms within parentheses, like so search techniques (Yahoo OR Google)
Negation
If you want to specify that a query item must not appear in your results, prepend a (minus sign or dash): search techniques Google. This will search the pages that contain search techniques, but not the word Google Note that the symbol must appear directly before the word or phrase that you don't want. If there's space between, as in the following query, it won't work as expected search techniques Google
4.
Explicit Inclusion
Google will search for all the keywords and phrases that you specify, however, there are certain words that Google will ignore because they are considered too common to be of any use in the search (e.g. a, the, of, etc.) You can force Google to take a stop word into account by prepending a + (plus) character, as in +the search techniques.
Synonyms
The Google synonym operator, the ~ (tilde) character, prepended to any number of keywords in your query, asks Google to include not only exact matches, but also what it thinks are synonyms for each of the keywords. Searching for: ~ape turns up results for monkey, gorilla, chimpanzee, and others (both singular and plural forms) of the ape or related family, as if you'd searched for: monkey gorilla chimpanzee (Synonyms are bolded along with exact keyword matches on the results page, so they're easy to spot)
6.
Number Range
The number range operator, .. (two periods), looks for results that fall inside your specified numeric range (e.g. digital camera 3..5 megapixel $800..$1000) You can also use the number range syntax with just one number, making it the minimum or maximum of your query (e.g. digital camera ..5 megapixel $800..)

4. Full-Word Wildcards
the wildcard will act as a substitute for one full word. Searching for tHRee * mice, therefore, finds three blind mice, three blue mice, three green mice, etc. * is a stand-in for one word; ** signifies two words, and so on
5. Special Syntax
intitle: restricts your search to the titles of web pages. The variation allintitle: finds pages in which all the specified words appear in the title of the web page. Using allintitle: is basically the same as using intitle: before each keyword:
intitle:"george bush allintitle:"money supply" economics
intext: searches only body text (i.e., it ignores link text, URLs, and titles). While its uses are limited, it's perfect for finding query words that might be too common in URLs or link titles. There's also an allintext: variation
intext:"yahoo.com" intext:html
inanchor: searches for text in a page's link anchors. A link anchor is the descriptive text of a link. For example, the link anchor in the HTML code <a href="http://www.oreilly.com">O'Reilly Media</a> is "O'Reilly Media.. There's an allinanchor: variation
5. Special Syntax
inurl: restricts your search to the URLs of web pages. This syntax usually works well for finding search and help pages because they tend to be regular in composition. An allinurl: variation finds all the words listed in a URL
inurl:help
link: returns a list of pages that link to the specified URL. Enter link:www.google.com and you'll get a list of pages that link to the Google home page, http://www.google.com (not anywhere in the google.com domain) cache: finds a copy of the page that Google indexed even if that page is no longer available at its original URL or has since changed its content completely
5. Special Syntax
related: , as you might expect, finds pages that are related to the specified page. This is a good way to find categories of pages; a search for related:google.com returns a variety of search engines, including Lycos, Yahoo!, and Northern Light
info:www.nytimes.com/technology
define: gives you a page full of definitions of a word from around the Web movie: syntax to find reviews of movies on the Web music: explicitly searches for music-related information

Stock Quotes: enter stock symbol (e.g. goog for Google) and Google will return the latest stock price, along with an intra-day chart, the daily high and low, the volume traded, the companys market capitalization and links to other financial information
Basic Arithmetic
Compute expressions containing standard mathematical symbols. The following table lists operators that come between the two numbers on which they operate, e.g., to multiply 2 times 3, use 2 * 3
Advanced Math
Compute results involving mathematical constants, such as e, pi, i (the square root of 1), and mathematical functions. The following table lists just some of the functions built into Googles calculator
Convert from one set of units to another by using the notation, x units in y units.
[ three quarters of a cup in teaspoons ] [ 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit in degrees Celsius ] [ 130 lbs in kg ] [ 130 lbs in stones ] [ 65 mph in kph ] or [ 65 mph in km/h ]

[ 160 pounds * 4000 feet in Calories ]

Below are descriptions of some search-result components. These components appear in fonts of different colors on the result page to make it easier to distinguish them from one another.
Page Title: (blue) The web pages title, if the page has one, or its URL if the page has no title or if Google has not indexed all of the pages content. Snippets: (black) Each search result usually includes one or more short excerpts of the text that matches your query with your search terms in boldface type. Each distinct excerpt or snippet is separated by an ellipsis () URL of Result: (green) Web address of the search result Size: (green) The size of the text portion of the web page. It is omitted for sites not yet indexed. In the screen shot, 12k means that the text portion of the web page is 12 kilobytes
