Quick Search Tricks Google-style

While Google provides many search features, I'm sure not many of us who use it when performing a search of information. Finally we got the information from Google's tsunami storm that ultimately make our own confusion. We discuss yuk, effective search techniques it should be like what the heck.

In general, the type of search on Google there are two: Basic Search and Advanced Search. Basic Search is a search feature that is common when we use the direct access google.com.

Meanwhile, Advanced Search provides a wide selection of good search feature for the operator basis, a file format that we want to find, language, region, etc..

Actually there are very many search features that we can use, but is not available in the Advanced Search menu option. In other words we have to incorporate the query in the search form on the Basic Search directly. Well game this query and search operators that actually we will discuss in this article.
BASIC FEATURES SEARCH

1. AND: Looking for information that contain both search terms. Can use one of the following three alternatives:
Jepara carving
AND Jepara carving
Jepara carving +

2. OR: Looking for information containing either of the two words. Can use one of two alternatives follows:
know OR Tempe
know | Tempe

3. Phrase: Search for information containing the search phrase using the mark ". " Example:
"Software"

4. NOT: The search results contain that word in front, but not the behind the minus (-). The example below will find information that contain the word fish but not the banding.
fish-banding

5. Synonyms (~): Searching for the word and its synonyms-synonyms. The example below will bring the search results: vehicle (car) and the synonym-synonyms.

6. Asterisk (*): Character replacement words. From the example below, the results obtained can: spicy grilled chicken, spicy fried chicken, cooked spicy chicken, etc.

7. SIGNS POINT (.): Character replacement letters, numbers and single character. From the example below, the results obtained can be: coffee, chef, scores, etc.

8. Case insensitive: Search on Google considers capital and not capital as something similar. So, Romi satria Wahono, Romi Satria Wahono, or Romi SATRIA Wahono will bring the same results
9.

If we still want the search word, can by using the + character in front of the search (example: Star Wars Episode + I), or it could be to regard it as a phrase (example: "Star Wars Episode I")
