Hi friends googling in the best way to find  any kind of information. But google is not just a search engine its an intelligent search engine. Its in your hands how you are going to make use of it. In this post I listed out some google search tips and tricks which helps you in effective browsing.Before reading this post it is highly recommended to read my other posts on google tricks and google hacking.

1.Google as A Definition Dictionary:

Turn your Google search engine into definition dictionary and use it to define just any word. Command to find the definition of any word is define: followed by the word to be defined.

                         define:surface computing

2.Google for File Type Search:

When we search for any phrase on Google, then it returns all types of results. But if you really need to filter search such that you want to see only the results which appear in a particular file type e.g. word doc, pdf, ppt etc, then you can do so with command filetype. For example, if you need to find all the word documents containing phrase “vedic mathematics”, then it will be as in the following image.

3.Search within a particular website

By default Google search gives results from all the existing domains or website for the searched phrase or string. But if you need to make your search specific to a particular website, then that can be done with site: operator as follows.

For example  hack facebook site:alltechbuzz.blogspot.com

 4.Customize Google Search with dorks like inurl and allinurl

If you include [inurl: ] in your query, Google will restrict the results to documents containing that word in the url. For instance, [inurl:google search] will return documents that mention the word "google" in their url, and mention the word "search" anywhere in the document (url or no). Note there can be no space between the "inurl:" and the following word.

If you start a query with [allinurl:], Google will restrict the results to those with all of the query words in the url. For instance, [allinurl: google search] will return only documents that have both "google" and "search" in the url.

5.Customize Google Search To Search A Particular Category
