Advanced Google Search Tips
 


1. Use an Exact Phrase

Enclose your keywords within quotes and Google will do an exact phrase search.

  • Syntax
      "[keyword 1] [keyword 2]" [keyword 3]

2. Try Using... OR in search

Google will include all words from your search criteria unless you specify. By typing OR between your terms, Google will know it can look for one set of terms or the other. Capitalize OR, otherwise Google will assume it’s just part of your keyword.

  • Use case
        I'm looking for grilled recipes for either shrimp or scallops.
  • Syntax
      [keyword 1] OR [keyword 2]

3. Google Search Exclude Word
