31. Google search strategies

Absolutely everyone uses Google. Recently a friend sent me this tiny URl to a site / blog containing  20 quite relevant search strategies to get the most out of Google.

While many of these are well used eg Use quotation around words to do a very targeted and specific search, there were new ones for me.
I've listed some below that I know definitely will help me out.


  1. Hyhpen for excluding words

  2. Colon for specific sites

  3. Pages that link

  4. Use of an asterix as a wild card

  5. Using Google to solve maths problems

  6. Finding file types

  7. Searching a range of numbers

  8. Tracking packages, faster than the online site.............. So the blogger claims 


  9. How many of these do you use?

    What ones would be appropriate to teach our students especially in this the 21 Century?
