How to Search the Web with Google

STEP 1: Go to the Google homepage and type your search. Formatting your search in
different ways will affect the results that you receive. Try to keep your search terms
simple to get the best results. Search using the important words, and leave out the
question. The “I'm Feeling Lucky” button will take you directly to the first search result.
 Try to use words that the websites that you are looking for will use. For example, if
your tooth is hurting, search “toothache” as opposed to “my tooth hurts”. This will
result in more informative websites.
 If you need a precise result for your search, put quotations mark around it. This will
make Google only search for the exact word or phrase in the quotes.
 For example, if you entered chocolate cookies, without quotes, Google would find
any pages containing the word “chocolate” or the word “cookies” (but pages with
both words do end up higher in the results). If you put “chocolate cookies” in the
search it would search only for pages that contain that exact phrase.
 Exclude a word from a search by using a dash. Put the dash in front of the word that
you want to exclude. This will allow you to remove unwanted search result.
 Enter equations to see the calculated result as the first entry. This will open the
calculator tool in Google, which you can use to enter new equations.
 Enter units to be converted to have Google tell you the conversion. For example,
enter 1 cup = ounces and the conversion will be displayed before website search
results. You can then use the pull-down menus to change units.
 Most punctuation is ignored during a Google search.
STEP 2: Sort your search results. Once you’ve entered your search, you can narrow
down the results by clicking on the tabs at the top of the results list.
 Web shows websites. This is the default tab.
 Images shows a list of images that correspond to your search. If your search result
matches a lot of images, the most popular ones will be displayed as a search result
in the Web tab.
 Maps shows your search result on a map. Usually when you enter a location into the
search, a map will appear in the Web tab.
 The shopping tab will show products available in your area or online that relate to
your search.
 Blogs will show any blog posts that relate to your search.
 You can click the More tab to search through other Google services, such as the
Play Store, Recipes, and more.
STEP 3: Refine your search. You can add specific parameters to your search by
opening the Advanced Search tool. You can open this by scrolling to the bottom of the
search results and clicking the Advanced Search link.
 In the “Find pages with…” section, you can specify exactly how you want Google to
search for your terms. These can be achieved through the regular search box as
well, and the instructions are listed beside each entry.
 In the “Then narrow your results by…” section, you can add filters that will hide
results that aren’t relevant to you. You can set the desired language, region, update
date, specific site, and more. For example, you could search for only French
YouTube videos uploaded this year.
STEP 4: Sign in to your Google account. Click the red Sign In button in the top-right
corner to sign in with your Google account. This will help tailor searches to you as well
as allow you to save your searching preferences. If you see your name and picture in
the top-right corner, you are successfully signed in.
 Your Google account is the same across all Google products, including Gmail, Drive,
Maps, YouTube, and more.
STEP 5: Set your search settings. After performing a search, click the Gear icon in the
top-right corner of the results page. Select Search Settings from the menu.
 You can choose to filter explicit results, show instant searches while typing, adjust
the number of search results displayed per page, and more.
 These settings will not be saved when you exit Google unless you are signed in with
your Google account.
