"climate change effects" - Exclude words with minus sign: e.g.,
apple -fruit - Search within a site: e.g.,
site:nytimes.com AI ethics - Use Google’s Advanced Search: Access it via Google’s settings menu for more control.
Common Search Operators
Boost precision with these operators:
OR– Find pages that include either term (e.g.,cat OR dog)*– Wildcard for unknown words (e.g.,"largest * in the world")..– Number range (e.g.,iPhone price $500..$1000)
Practice Makes Perfect
Try refining your queries step by step. Start broad, then narrow down using filters, operators, or more precise vocabulary. Over time, you’ll develop an intuition for what works best.
