Google prepare the best search tools for most of the people

I remember ten years ago when I was studied my master degree, I still need to go to library search informations in order to finish my research.

Now , I simply open my iPad and I can easily access tones of informations instantly after my clicks, not just from google search, but also from different articles on medium.com or patreon.com.

Search content is key!

The first place to search information should be Google, because Google search engine provide the most accurate and update search result for most users, you can input simple keywords, phases and even a symbol in order to search photos and videos.

For most of the times, Google search should provide an accurate results for most of users .Because Google spider can scan and look though different source of informations including:

  • Web pages,
  • User-submitted content such as Google My Business and Maps user submissions,
  • Book scanning,
  • Public databases on the Internet,
  • Many other sources.

Google also lead you to some of the informations you never know, for example, a pdf file from a student or a leaflet from a shop 5000km away from you , simply just because you enter some related keywords to search in Google.

How to refine search results?

I think everyone should know how to search, but not everyone know how to refine their search results.

Refine search is an essential technique for everyone in 2020.

For example, you need to search the standard of SD card, you can follow these steps to perform your search:

1.The Simple questions : in this case , The standard of SD card.

Google will quote the the best suitable results to you, sometimes Google also quote wikipedia research to you .

Moreover, Google will also suggest others related search for you as a reference and also suggest other keyword for you to search.

Please note that google will read you locations and consider your previous search patterns, so this means google will become better and more accurate to feed the search result only when you use google frequently.

2. Photos and news search.

People will trend to ignore the search result of photos and news search. But sometimes, google photo search Use AI functions to display the most suitable photos search results. Sometimes by clicking the Photos and news search , you can get better results.

3. Customised google search

Even better, Google provide tools to customised search results. The most useful tools is 「search using exact wording」, this tools is extremely useful when you need direct quote and reference from other research papers or informations source online.

Remember google will log your search result. So better delete all records periodically or using Private browsing functions when you search in google.
