Exploring Google

As we all know,google is clearly the best general-purpose search engine on the Web.But most people don't use it to its best advantage.Do you just plug in a keyword or two and hope for the best? That may be the quickest way to search, but with more than 3 billion pages in Google's index, it's still a struggle to get results to a manageable number.

But google's search options go beyond simple keywords, the Web, and even its own programmers. Let's look at some of Google's lesser-known options.

1) www.google.com/help/operators.html

Google supports several advanced operators, which are query words that have special meaning to Google. Typically these operators modify the search in some way, or even tell Google to do a totally different type of search.

2) Suppose you want to contact someone and don't have his/her phone number.Google can help you with that, too.Just enter a name, city, and state(The city is optional, but you must enter a state.) If a phone number matches the listing, you'll see it at the top of the search results along with a map link to the address.
If you'd rather restrict your results, use rphonebook: for residential listings or bphonebook: for business listings.
