8 Google Search Parameters That Made Googling Much More Efficient for Me
Most people don’t even know this feature
Let’s be honest: Most people don’t know how to google something properly.
Googling a whole sentence often leads to unsatisfying results. Even if you already understood that keywords work best, you surely can do better.
Google offers us a feature called search parameters — yet, most people don’t know about this. Search parameters help to filter the results we get. It regularly saves me a ton of time and frustration. Before we dive into the list, here is an example, what a parameter can do for you.
Imagine you want to find the Facebook profile of a person called “John Doe” — therefore, you start googling for “John Doe” or “John Doe Facebook” (I know you could look it up on Facebook; it’s just an example).
But these two searches will also return a bunch of pages that aren’t relevant to you because they aren’t Facebook pages.
Thank god we can tell Google much more precisely what we want. Thanks to a simple search parameter, we can specify that Google should only show us search results from facebook.com.
