Changing Language Settings


Since Google supports multiple languages, and many times results are displayed in different languages. To avoid such situation, one can set his/her preferred language and Google will always display results in that language only. Preferences can be set at : https://www.google.com/preferences

Setting Sexually Explicit Content Preferences


Depending upon one’s interests, usability and need one can also set level of strictness for sexually explicit content being displayed as results and Google will automatically take care of it.

Searching with Google Scholar


Google launched a new platform ( www.scholar.google.com) which enables one to search scholar papers and patented documents from the world of scholarly research. It scrolls data from thesis, books, patents, documents, filed papers, online repositories and many other sources.

Making Custom Search Engine for Website using power of Google


Google not only allows you to place its own search engine on your website to facilitate web search from there itself, but also provides flexibility of creating one’s own search engine which crawls pre-set web urls to give very close results. For eg, A University can use this feature to place a search engine which searches data from only University Pages. Custom Search Engine powered by Google can be made at : https://www.google.com/cse/

Using queries to search results from Google

Queries are generally used by programmers, BUT here there is no need of programming knowledge. Just basic know-how of keywords is sufficient to search effectively using Google.

For example :
1-Prefixing “define:” before any word in Google search engine gives definitions of that word from some of reliable websites.

2- Prefixing “intext: username | age | userfiletype:pdf” searches for pdf files on internet which contain data headed as username , age.

3-Prefixing “linkto:URL” where URL is the url given by user, searches for webpages/forums that link to given URL, an ideal option for Network Administrators to monitor that where are their sites being linked.
