They are the shortcuts for getting the<strong> best-refined result<\/strong>. In short, when we say refined results it means commanding google to slender down your results so instead of obtaining unrelated results, your search query returns you the data that you\u2019re actually looking for, only if used in the correct method.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>These google search operators are categorised into three categories mainly \u201c<strong>Basic, Advanced, Unreliable<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I use Google advanced search operators?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You can simply type the search operator that is the symbol\/name in the Google search to get the results.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">List of Google  Search Operators-<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Site:<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cSite:\u201d operator limits your search results to only those from definite sites as well as number of the crawled pages. It refines your result query and gives you the accurate result.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Example-<strong>site:theimpulsedigital.com<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"777\" height=\"468\" src=\"https:\/\/theimpulsedigital.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Site-google-advanced-search-operator.png\" alt=\"Site google advanced search operato\" data-id=\"2758\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.theimpulsedigital.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=2758\" class=\"wp-image-2758\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Cache<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>By adding \u201c<strong>cache<\/strong>\u201d before any URL you\u2019ll be able to find out the exact cached or crawled time and date of your web page.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>By using this operator you\u2019ll be able to know when did your website got crawled last time as well as also get to know whether Google was able to crawl your website and index it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. OR\/ | (PIPE)<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The logic behind using \u201c<strong>OR\/|<\/strong>\u201d is that Google will look for either the first word or the second word or both. It is important to write \u201cOR\u201d in capital letters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Example <\/strong>&#8211; SEO OR social media marketing, SEO | social media marketing.<\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. AND<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The logic of using \u201c<strong>AND<\/strong>\u201d operator is similar to using \u201cOR\u201d Operator. Google looks for all conditions to be met before giving results.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Example<\/strong>&#8211; site:facebook.com AND intitle:ImpulseDigital AND inurl:theimpulsedigital<\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Minus Symbol (-)<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Using <strong>minus symbol (-)<\/strong> before any term will eliminate that particular term from the result.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This can be useful for words having multiple synonyms eg. Apple as a brand and apple as a fruit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Example<\/strong> \u2013 apple -iPhone -fruit (this query will not give information related to iPhone and apple fruit)<\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Asterisk (*)<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>An asterisk \u201c<strong>*<\/strong>\u201d can be used as a wildcard also it will match with any given term. You can use this symbol when you\u2019re unsure about a certain part of the query.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Example<\/strong> &#8211; * is a national fruit of India.&nbsp; <\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. <strong>\u201cquotes\u201d<\/strong> (\u201c&nbsp; \u201d)<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When you add a word or phrase in <strong>\u201cquotes\u201d<\/strong>, the results will only contain pages which will match exactly to the ones inside the quotes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Example<\/strong>&#8211; \u201cqueen Victoria\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Dollar Symbol ($)<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you want to know the price of a certain product then you can use dollar symbol \u201c<strong>$<\/strong>\u201d before your product\u2019s name.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Example<\/strong>&#8211; iPhone $300 <\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. In<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201c<strong>in<\/strong>\u201d operator works when you want to change one unit into another.
