  1. Internet Resources Discovery Mastering Google

  2. Contents • Basics • Query options • Results page • Advanced search • Preferences • Services • Advanced Operators T.Sharon-A.Frank

  3. Basics • AND implied – Google returns only pages that match all the search terms. • OR - | - “search engine” Notess OR Bates • Google is not case sensitive. • 32 words limit (* excluded). T.Sharon-A.Frank

  4. If you search for… cheap TV effects children car Calif OR CA NYC Google won’t find… inexpensive television influences kids automobile California New York City Exact Term Matching T.Sharon-A.Frank

  5. Finding Synonyms ~ • Example: • ~inexpensive will return: • inexpensive, cheap, affordable, low cost T.Sharon-A.Frank

  6. Word Variation – Automatic Stemming • A technique to search on the stem/root that has multiple endings. • Example: Child Bicycle • Child: children children’s • Bicycle: bicycle bicycles bicycle’s bicycling bicyclists • + or “” will disable stemming. • No variations with single term. T.Sharon-A.Frank

  7. Google Ignores Common Words • Called “stop words”. • Example: on, where, how, la, … • Use + to include stop words. • If only stop words are queried – all will be included. T.Sharon-A.Frank

  8. More… • Google favors results that have your search terms near each other. • Google gives higher priority to pages that have the terms in the same order as in your query: • New York library – vs. – new library of York • Google ignores some punctuation and special characters including ,.;?[]()@/#: • Dr. Ruth is the same as Dr Ruth. • A term with ‘ won’t match a term without: • we’re won’t match were. • A term with diacritic (accent) won’t match a term without: • Schr?der won’t match Schroder T.Sharon-A.Frank

  9. Hyphens “-” • When Google encounters a hyphen (-) it matches: • The term with the hyphen. • The term without the hyphen. • The term with the hyphen replaced by a space. • Example 1: • part-time matches “part-time”, “part time” and “parttime”. • part time matches “part-time” and “part time”. • Parttime matches parttime. • Example 2: • e-mail matches “e-mail”, “e mail”, and “email” • email matches email T.Sharon-A.Frank

  10. Exact phrase matching • “” exact phrase matching: • “search engine” • “to be or not to be” • Google does not perform automatic stemming on phrases. • Google indexes only the first 101KB of a page (example: http://www.esefer.net/kabala.html). T.Sharon-A.Frank

  11. Forcing a term + or removing - • + forces a term/stop word. • Example: Star Wars +I • Disables automatic stemming. • - will remove a term from the results. T.Sharon-A.Frank

  12. * wildcards • * replaces a word in a phrase. • Examples: • “Francis * Coppola” • California election “Oct * 2003” OR “10/*/03” OR “October * 2003” • Not counted as part of the 32 words limit. T.Sharon-A.Frank
