Google Tips and Tricks

Google operators to make ur search better-
 define: - This google operator will find definitions for a certain term orword over the Internet. Very useful when you come across a strange word when writing a post. I use this as a google dictionary. example : (define computer)

  site: - This google operator can be used to see the number of indexed pages on your site (i.e.site:www.ashram.org) 
  fileformat: -Useful Google operator for finding specific file formats. Sometimes you know that the information you are looking for is likely to be contained in a PDF document or on a PowerPoint presentation, for instance. (i.e. “fileformat:.pdf market research” will search for PDF documents that contain the terms “market” and “research”)
