Search Preferences
You can set search options, and revise them whenever you like on the Google Preferences page. SafeSearch filtering The default is moderate filtering which blocks explicit images but not ordinary web search results. You can also adjust SafeSearch settings on the Advanced Search or the Advanced Image Search pages on a per search basis. Language options - Lets you serch for web pages in a language you choose. Number of results - For the fastest response time the default is 10 search results per page, but the number can increased to 20, 30, 50, or 100. New results window - When you search Google, the search page is replaced by a search results page. You can set this preference option to open your search results in a new browser window.
Google Search
You might also ask yourself if your search terms are sufficiently specific. It's better to search on luxury hotels Barcelona than on Spanish hotels. But choose your search terms carefully; Google looks for the search terms you chose, so luxury hotels Barcelona will probably deliver better results than really nice places to spend the night in Barcelona. Google searches are NOT case sensitive. All letters, regardless of how you type them, will be understood as lower case.
"OR" search
To find pages that include either of two search terms, add an uppercase OR between the terms. For example, here's how to search for a vacation in either Spain or Italy:
vacation Spain OR Italy Google Search
Phrase searches
Sometimes you'll only want results that include an exact phrase. In this case, simply put quotation marks around your search terms.
"To do no harm" Google Search
Phrase searches are particularly effective if you're searching for proper names ("Louis Pasteur"), lyrics ("the long and winding road"), or famous phrases ("To be or not to be").
"+" search
Google ignores common words and characters such as where, the, how, and other digits and letters which slow down your search without improving the results. If a word has been excluded details will be displayed on the results page below the search box. If a common word is essential to getting the results you want, you can do a phrase search or include it by putting a "+" sign in front of it. Also use the + sign in front if you dont want to include any variations of a word, such as plurals, synonyms, ory any tenses. For example, Google will ignore Roman numerals so here's how to ensure that Google includes the Roman numeral "I" in a search for information about Star Wars Episode I:
Star Wars Episode +I Google Search
Negative terms
If your search term has more than one meaning (virus, for example, could refer to viruses that infect computers or the type that effect organisms) you can focus your search by putting a minus sign ("-") in front of words related to the meaning you want to avoid. For example, here's how you'd find pages about viruses, but not computer viruses:
viruses -computer Google Search
Synonym search
If you want to search not only for your search term but also for its synonyms, place the tilde sign ("~") immediately in front of your search term. For example, here's how to search for car or auto loans and cooking information:
~car loans Google Search
File Types
In addition to PDF documents, Google can search Microsoft Office, PostScript, Corel WordPerfect, Lotus 1-2-3, and others. The new file types will simply appear in Google search results whenever they are relevant to the user query. Google also offers the user the ability to "View as HTML", allowing users to examine the contents of these file formats even if the corresponding application is not installed. The "View as HTML" option also allows users to avoid viruses which are sometimes carried in certain file formats. If you prefer to see a particular set of results with a specific file type (for example, PDF links), simply type filetype:[extension] (for example, filetype:pdf) within the search box along with your search term(s).
form 1040 filetype:pdf Google Search
Related Search
You can use Google to search for web pages that are similar to a specified web page or website. This functionality is also accessible by clicking on the Similar Pages link on Googles main results page. For example, here's how to find websites similar to the UMDNJ-School of Osteopathic Medicine website:
related: som.umdnj.edu Google Search
Definitions
You can also get a list of definitions by including the special operator "define:" with no space between it and the term you want defined. For example, the search [define:PubMed] will show you a list of definitions gathered from various online sources.
define PubMed Google Search
Numrange search
Numrange searches for results containing numbers in a given range. Just add two numbers, separated by two periods, with no spaces, into the search box along with your search terms. You can use Numrange to set ranges for everything from dates ( Willie Mays 1950..1960) to weights ( 5000..10000 kg truck). But be sure to specify a unit of measurement or some other indicator of what the number range represents. For example, here's how you'd search for hi definition televisions that costs between $800 and $1100:
hi def tv $800..$1100 Google Search

From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts and articles, from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories, universities and other scholarly organizations, and publicly available databases, like PubMed. Note, however, that by entering PubMed from Google Scholar you will not see the Findit@UMDNJ button Google Scholar helps you identify the most relevant research across the world of scholarly research. For example searching in Google for reputable, non-politicized information on global warming can be challenging, but by searching Google Scholar you are much more likely to find non-politicized information on Global warming example: Search
"global w arming"
