If a standard search doesn’t give you exactly what you’re looking for, try using Google’sAdvanced Search page instead to get more specific.
In order to access the Advanced Search options, perform a normal search, then click the cog icon in
the top-right corner of the results page and select ‘Advanced search.’ Since there’s no way to jump
straight to Advanced Search from the Google homepage, you may want to bookmark this particular page for easy access.
Once you get to the Advanced Search page, you’ll find a form with lots of text fields, enabling you to enter criteria and get very specific about your search. Although you will enter most of your requirements at the top of the page, towards the bottom you will find some useful additional criteria
to use, such as restricting your search to a particular region or only including webpages written in a
particular language.
Finally, at the bottom of the page you’ll find an option to search based on usage rights, which is
useful for hunting out content that you can modify and reuse, alongside some links to more search-related information.
Quick tips
Still looking for a couple more tips? We don’t like to disappoint… Here are three quick ones to round things off..
1. GOOGLE SCHOLAR
If you’re doing research, you can use Google Scholar to search a range of educational literature from different disciplines and publishers, including articles, books and court opinions (goo.gl/jpKlwj).
2. MATHS MADE EASY
Type a maths question into the standard Google search bar using one of the recognised symbols (+, -, * for multiplications, and / for divisions) and the calculator pops up with the answer.
3. THE INFO: OPERATOR
Use the info: operator followed by a URL in order to get more information about that particular page, including a short description of it and all of the webpages that link both to and from it.
