Google Search

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:

    mama "i just killed a man"
    
  • exclude a word from a search preceding it with a minus sign (-); it will filter out unwanted results:

    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:

    how to clean * from sheets
    
  • get results from a particular website only using the site: operator:

    site:wikipedia.org obama
    

    use the operator alone to determine whether Google has indexed a website:

    site:heyitsa.me
