Google Search Commands

Google is the number one search engine, but at the same time how much do we really understand it? There are a lot of tricks that you can make google do which will greatly increase your efficiency. If you want to search for web pages by their title you can simple use intitle:search_terms or allintitle:search_term. These commands are incredibly useful whenever you're trying to find a web page but can't remember the entire title. If you can only remember part of the url you can use inurl:search_terms or allinurl:search_terms.

While these are very useful in specific situations I don't tend to run into those situations all that much. On the other hand the site: command has proven time and again to be an immense time saver for me. Whenever dealing with pages that have a lot of content to sift through the best way to get to what you are looking for is typically to just use google and the site:command. You just type in the URL and then whatever you're searching for. Typically this gets you where you want to be faster than the built in search engine on most pages.
