## TL;DR
- find an **exact phrase** enclosing it in _quotation marks_ (`""`); it will give back only results that include those same words in that same order:
```txt
mama "i just killed a man"
```
- **exclude a word** from a search preceding it with a _minus sign_ (`-`); it will filter out unwanted results:
```txt
how to scrub -tips
```
- find results that **include all of the words in a phrase** using the _asterisk symbol_ (`*`); it will give back results that include a specific phrase but may also have other words:
```txt
how to clean * from sheets
```
- get results **from a particular website only** using the `site:` operator:
```txt
site:wikipedia.org obama
```
use the operator alone to determine whether Google has indexed a website:
```txt
site:heyitsa.me
```
