13 Hacks to Improve Your Google 


I found these especially useful:

  • Wild Card
    Sometimes a memory lapse leaves you searching for the right word. Instead of guessing, put an asterisk in the vacant spot and have the search engine figure it out for you. (Great for lyrics, idioms)

  • Search a Website
    For a search you want specifically from a certain site, just type your term and then “site:” with the desired outlet.

  • Similar To
    To encompass a wider definition than you’re currently searching for, add a “~” in front of the word, and Google will pull up results from similar terms as well.
