Advanced Google Search Tutorial

 

Advanced Search gives you options that help you refine your search significantly. Try Advanced Search when you are getting thousands or millions of results in your Basic Search. In Advanced Search you can:

  • limit your search by a specific language, some date ranges, file type 9PDF, .doc, XML), and many more
  • use “safe search” (filter out unwanted content)
  • choose where your search terms appear (in title, text, URL, etc.)

Other search features

 

Want to re-run that perfect search you did earlier? There's an easy way to find it again; however, there's a catch.

Be sure you are logged into your Google Account when you start your search, so you can retrieve it later.

Your history will be listed chronologically, and you can conveniently use the calendar to find earlier searches.
