Most people use Google Search in the most simplistic way. But Google search is much more than just a simple search tool.
In this post, we tell you a few incredibly powerful ways to use Google Search. After reading this, you searches are never going to be the same again. You can bookmark this post and keep it for future reference.
1. Upper and lower case do not matter.
Many of you may know this, but Google search is NOT case-sensitive. So you can type “New York Times” or just “new york times”. Both will return the same result. So unless you have an OCD, you need not capitalize your words.
2. Auto-correct
Google has a predictive algorithm that tries to understand what the user is trying to search for. So, minor spellings are auto-corrected by Google and it gives you an option to revert back to your search text, if it was corrected wrongly.
So, you can write an approximate search text and still get the right results. The predictiveness gets better if you are signed in to your Google Account, as it tries to understand it using your past searches and browser history.
3. See Trending searches
Let’s say you want to know what searches are trending in your area. You can just go to Google.com and put the cursor in the search box to see the latest trending searches in your area.
4. define operator
