In the 'olden days' there used to be a search engine called Lycos. It allowed you to search within the previous search results. So instead of having to type out a complicated, multi colon-separated regular expression, you started by doing a broad search and then narrowed down results using further simple queries. Of course, it was so brilliant and useful a feature it was soon removed.
Don't want to miss the adverts (?)
@@williamchamberlain2263 You're in luck. I have Lycos stock available.
Alta Vista 😊
Hello, very useful, thanks.
An additional operator is + : +word1 +word2 means that you want only the results where both word1 and word2 are present.
As an example, it can be useful searching a person with +firstname +lastname avoiding more referenced ones with same last name.
Couldn't you just do "firstname lastname"?
@@safariknight3239 Yes if they are not separated by other words
This seems to be for people who are already tech savvy. I was halfway in when the comparison between python and javascript was mentioned. Until this time I thought the search was about the python snake.
I gave up at this point 🤯
oh shi- thanks for letting me avoid wasting my time. i dont need to utilize and custimize every single key on my pc. i see how some users could like linux, but it's not for me. ty very much sir
Sadly, Google search is fundamentally (and deliberately) flawed. My proof: look under the "Tools' dropdown for the option "Verbatim" which I like to think of as the "What we both know I was ACTUALLY searching for" button.
The arrogance of Google is astounding. Not only do they take your search terms and give you THEIR idea of what you meant, but the option to (hit-and-miss) override this is purposely buried in the menus.
... to sell you stuff or to sell your data, unsurprisingly.
To be fair natural language in your idiom isn't the same as someone else's, so synonyms are still necessary
Google gets paid to steer their searches. Its become almost useless for finding any products.
Great explanation of searching Google in a more finite way! Now can you please tell me when searching for an item to buy and when you select the shopping tab, and even do as much as to put quotes around the exact name and model number of a product, Google still shows you everything that is not what you want! It’s so frustrating and a great waste of time.
The 'Caminito del Rey' that you showed in your image search was completely renovated back in 2015 and is an extremely safe tourist attraction now. Nothing like in the photo you referenced.
Though I've learned those methods through the years, I watched your video and enjoyed the presentation. My family and friends often wonder how I find the information that I search for so easily. But then again, I'm tech oriented.
What I want to know is why country-specific results and "verbatim" results are mutually exclusive options. Mad.
Saw the thumbnail on a friend's status, saved it and I'm here now to watch
Thank you for this
Learnt something new today
You've got to know your tools, folks! Very helpful tips! Thank you
*linux user's in a nutshell: did u read the manual????
Another ti - enter a flight number - say AA1234 - to bring up the current flight information for American Airways flight 1234 (works with just about any airline)
Google how to make video educational rather than snappy. You don't have to animate every element on screen. This could have been a list of different search terms but instead we got to see you animate the cursors typing out a 90 letter search phrase with single and double quotation marks (quickly cuts back to Mr Python walking in a park).
First thing I learned as a teacher: Slow the hell down and give people a chance to think.
here is a hint.... write in and ask for a refund.
A lot of ungrateful people here.
@@thepurpleufo AHHH, but their free tutorials are professionally perfect, of course.
Great video. I was aware of a few search tricks, but this video gave me more precise ways to use Google. Thanks a lot, Python Programmer😁
Hi Giles,
Interesting content delivered incredibly well. Do you do your own video editing, or do you outsource to a particular freelance website?
Thanks ever so much,

8hrs in and already Cambridge has taken down this search result no 1: module 3
Default Google Search behavior: Auto-correct IRRELEVANT RESULTS containing your keyword(s) taken out of context, as clicked by the most number of people who don't know what they're looking for, just to click 'like' or 'buy now'.
Dude this guys videos are awesome and unique. Easy as heck
Thank you. Excellent and straight to the points.
I really enjoyed this informative video on searching Google properly, and, being an American, I really love your accent!
Amazing and useful video! I will use a lot the before and after searchwords.
This content was really useful and easy to follow!
Search: "Why is my washing machine in my kitchen?"
I was thinking the same but maybe it's a british thing
It's a British thing.
Search: "Why is this a British thing?"
Our houses are smaller and we don't all have garages or "utility rooms". Also, it's cold enough in winter that manufacturers don't warranty machines stored outside in garages. Many people have a separate room for a washing machine. But not all. Also, we typically have side-loaders, which make a racket and shake a lot, meaning we don't want them upstairs if possible. So... Kitchen.
@@jameslloyd2540 kitchens are DOWNstairs?
that's just made it more complicated for most of us, thank you
operators: intitle, filetype, site, source, before, after, related, stocks, map, weather, "", OR, - , $
I want to search about something but its older and google do not want to show me exactly what i want to search for. Theres plenty tutorials about a program I search but instead google is giving only info the new version of it that I don't need, let me explain. I search for a game engine called "unreal editor 2.0", its a game engine founded in 1999, and there is other one that is called "unreal engine, that was founded like 2012(don't remember), and sure the newer one is more popular, everybody is using "unreal engine" because its a engine that allows you to make a game from scratch. The older one is just to make addons and mods for a specified game. Because when I write lets say "I want to create a sky in unreal editor 2.0", google doesn't think that I need a tutorial especially for the "editor" he just sees moreover that I typed "in unreal" and is thinking that I want the unreal "engine" instead of the "editor". I want to remove from search any kind of site that has the word "engine" or a specific word. Actually from the title of it, because it could have the word in the content. Is that possible
Just go google advance search and then you have all the options 'date ranging' 'data type' everything or go to chatgpt, you'll have all the code
Great content, thx a lot!
Point of productive criticism: show the commands at least 5sec longer, NPCs like me are having a hard time keeping up :)
what's difference between "site" and "source" ?
How do you find stuff that has been memory holed as part of the Google filtration engineering?
Is the litany of fines Google must pay not warning enough for you?
This is helpful information. The complainers who say it's too fast, should just slow down the speed (easy to do), pause and take notes, etc. So many complainers here...no matter what you would do, they would still bitch and moan. Thanks, Python Programmer.
Thank you, good information
You those yootoobs that tell you “you’re doing it wrong”? They gets blocked.
Hi! What is the best way to reach out to you? I have a specific question regarding the mathematis of machine learning, statistics and probablity.
Is the date search American or rest of world format?
I just wish my brain could keep up with your rapid fire vocals and even faster type and show!!!! 80 is slower than 35!
Fantastically useful, thank you !
I’ve found just typing in base words in the URL does the same thing.
Thank you Sir.
A "Beginner's Guide" to Google Search is also needed to explain what punctuation marks are needed and how they are used and interpreted by the system; this guide is not very helpful if you don't already know the basics.
I liked the presentation but am largely as ignorant after viewing as I was before, unfortunately.
Great one!
And I request u to make a video on best php books
Absolutely useful skills.
Thank you sir may I have another.
A capital video, this - concise, information-packed and shorn of waffle
Date tip very useful.
my google-fu is strong, and yes a full search string can be very very very long.
Awesome tips, I knew a few, but definitely not all of them - thanks!
One word, awesome!
I've always used buzzwords which seems to work well too. But are we being watched?
Thank you!☺
You are a God sent!
What’s got you reading “Make it Stick”?
Does anybody know how to get more characters around my searched words in searching results, for example instead of seeing: ...bikes bla bla bla, i would like to see: bla bla bla bikes bla bla bla. So essentially I would like to see more characters around my searched words, can anyone help please?
You didn't clarify the purpose of the colon.
About a year or 2 ago the search's relevance got way worse
I pay TH-cam so that I don’t have to be subjected to adverts. Perhaps we could come to some arrangement whereby you pay me a fee to watch your advert.
thank you so much
Useful but at breakneck speed. Too fast to absorb effectively.
I miss AltaVista
I am in Vietnam and EVERY DAMN search is American related even if I add UK at the end, how do I search JUST for UK?
Try site:uk
must be an old video, google ignores double quotes and - operators. this seems like instructions on how to find stuff you already know where it is.
Woooooo new video
Well I don't hear 100 percent so I type question and they get it wrong a lot
Searched google as follows: Elon musk guardian. First pg nothing but guardian
How is it any better with these characters suggested like :?
Good video
error 404
I pay TH-cam to not see ads. Not sure why tho ffs
@@Smoove-e7bh The things I don't know could fill a book. Good day sir!
I only hear the background music.
you have a washer in the kitchen??? wtf??
None of this is a vow. walking and talking ,showing search is not likeable
The government’s search engine doesn’t work very well ?
Is there a 3d print thing license for pizza?
Who owns it? Or day of creation would do.
Now this test thing search could have been anything, business, medical health care.
It could be cgi imaging, cnc milling engineering, laser cutting etc.
From any country.
I don't think your net works nobody I can find in reality can prove it when asked to.
I bet I can cycle to ten shops before you can find the thing on net. I bet you won't respond after you real world test it and it gives adds that also need checking before use which it won't be able to do. I'm timming go.
wow , people need this much help free thinking ?
U should be good at phrasing that's it
Bookmark
Nope.
I’m not doing it wrong.
Google reads your mind and delivers what you want on the first page. Duh!
None of this is really necessary. Google search is more advanced than you think and doesn't require searching like a library database. Most search engine nowadays use some form of AI and it's pretty good in getting you the pdf you want by typing out just a few key phrases. You can always go to advanced search and refine it there without having to remember any of these syntaxes.
I find that the AI utilized screws up my searches and prioritizes garbage that either knows how to use the algorithms and/or commercial sites.
I know what you are saying but as a professional information person - we used to be able to call ourselves librarians! - trying to work through phrase searches and connecting search strings in Google is a mess because the bots think they know better than we do and do the autocorrect thing of ‘oh, you meant this, of course, not that.’ Drives me nuts.
"" , + , - still work if you repeat them on a second search

Noble and overloaded profession!
I salute you!
Gurgle has been deliberately manipulating searches to give the results THEY want to force on you thus controlling you. Thats how twice trepanaied low IQ corrupt lawyer Bidumb was installed. Gurgle is demoncrat.
search engines should search and not filter. watch how fast this gets downvoted......
google weather is not particuliary accurate. I've typed weather:lausanne -source:google and it skipped google results
Typical, you forgot the most obvious of all. Use the right words. If you want a technical document then search on a word that only technicians know the meaning of.
Good Grief ..
There is no "googling" like a pro. Google has completely controlled their results to the point of you get one point of view. If you want to be a pro, leave all popular search platforms.
Burp
Not helpful to the ordinary Joe Blow. This looks more like computer programming...
Searches OR. Gets AND. Lol Google.
A+ ⚕️🌟✨
Why are youtubers always racing through the video? If you are sharing useful content, slow down a little, we don't mind if they video is 5 minutes longer.
You lost me at Python?
😀😀
I lost interest at The Guardian
God forbid we should live in a country where the wealthy pay fair taxes and the workers (who generate the actual wealth) are properly remunerated, hey.
Please stop walking and talking. I'm getting seasick symptoms.
Correct. You all doing it wrong. Do not use Google. Use somethng else. Any other search engine will yield better and more accurate result than Google.
It's very distracting when I have to jump between your face and the script. Leave something out.
Why are you trying so hard to be the center of attention? All those outside shots and content are irrelevant to your video.
When I type big hooters it gets it right 100%.
you walking is very annoying
Best way to use Google: don’t use it!
get off me, i knew all this shit.
Anything for DuckDuckGo?
Please and thank you 😊
