7 Clever Google Tricks Worth Knowing

Below I have compiled a list of 7 clever Google tricks that I believe everyone should be aware of.  Together I think they represent the apex of the grand possibilities associated with Google search manipulation tricks and hacks.  Although there are many others out there, these 7 tricks are my all-time favorite.  Enjoy yourself. 

1.  Find the Face Behind the Result – This is a neat trick you can use on a Google Image search to filter the search results so that they include only images of people.  How is this useful?  Well, it could come in handy if you are looking for images of the prominent people behind popular products, companies, or geographic locations.  You can perform this search by appending the code &imgtype=face to the end of the URL address after you perform a standard Google Image search.

2.  Google + Social Media Sites = Quality Free Stuff – If you are on the hunt for free desktop wallpaper, stock images, Wordpress templates or the like, using Google to search your favorite social media sites is your best bet.  The word “free” in any standard search query immediately attracts spam.  Why wade through potential spam in standard search results when numerous social media sites have an active community of users who have already ranked and reviewed the specific free items that interest you.  All you have to do is direct Google to search through each of these individual social media sites, and bingo… you find quality content ranked by hundreds of other people.

3.  Find Free Anonymous Web Proxies – A free anonymous web proxy site allows any web browser to access other third-party websites by channeling the browser’s connection through the proxy.  The web proxy basically acts as a middleman between your web browser and the third-party website you are visiting.  Why would you want to do this?  There are two common reasons:

  • You’re connecting to a public network at a coffee shop or internet café and you want privacy while you browse the web.  You don’t want the admin to know every site you visit.
  • You want to bypass a web content filter or perhaps a server-side ban on your IP address.  Content filtering is common practice on college campus networks.  This trick will usually bypass those restrictions.

There are subscription services and applications available such as TOR and paid VPN servers that do the same thing.  However, this trick is free and easy to access from anywhere via Google.  All you have to do is look through the search results returned by the queries below, find a proxy that works, and enter in the URL of the site you want to browse anonymously.

4.  Google for Music, Videos, and Ebooks - Google can be used to conduct a search for almost any file type, including Mp3s, PDFs, and videos.  Open web directories are one of the easiest places to quickly find an endless quantity of freely downloadable files.  This is an oldie, but it’s a goodie!  Why thousands of webmasters incessantly fail to secure their web severs will continue to boggle our minds.

5.  Browse Open Webcams Worldwide – Take a randomized streaming video tour of the world by searching Google for live open access video webcams.  This may not be the most productive Google trick ever, but it sure is fun!  (Note: you may be prompted to install an ActiveX control or the Java runtime environment which allows your browser to view certain video stream formats.)

6.  Judge a Site by its Image – Find out what a site is all about by looking at a random selection of the images hosted on its web pages.  Even if you are somewhat familiar with the target site’s content, this can be an entertaining little exercise.  You will almost surely find something you didn’t expect to see.  All you have to do is use Google’s site: operator to target a domain in an image search.

7.  Results Based on Third-Party Opinion - Sometimes you can get a better idea of the content located within a website by reading how other websites refer to that site’s content.  The allinanchor: Google search operator can save you large quantities of time when a normal textual based search query fails to fetch the information you desire.  It conducts a search based on keywords used strictly in the anchor text, or linking text, of third party sites that link to the web pages returned by the search query.  In other words, this operator filters your search results in a way such that Google ignores the title and content of the returned web pages, but instead bases the search relevance on the keywords that other sites use to reference the results.  It can add a whole new dimension of variety to your search results.

Bonus Material:

Here is a list of my favorite Google advanced search operators, operator combinations, and related uses:

  • link:URL = lists other pages that link to the URL.
  • related:URL = lists other pages that are related to the URL.
  • site:domain.com “search term = restricts search results to the given domain.
  • allinurl:WORDS = shows only pages with all search terms in the url.
  • inurl:WORD = like allinurl: but filters the URL based on the first term only.
  • allintitle:WORD = shows only results with terms in title.
  • intitle:WORD = similar to allintitle, but only for the next word.
  • cache:URL = will show the Google cached version of the URL.
  • info:URL = will show a page containing links to related searches, backlinks, and pages containing the url. This is the same as typing the url into the search box. 
  • filetype:SOMEFILETYPE = will restrict searches to that filetype
  • -filetype:SOMEFILETYPE = will remove that file type from the search.
  • site:www.somesite.net “+www.somesite.net” = shows you how many pages of your site are indexed by google
  • allintext: = searches only within text of pages, but not in the links or page title
  • allinlinks: = searches only within links, not text or title
  • WordA OR WordB = search for either the word A or B
  • “Word” OR “Phrase” = search exact word or phrase
  • WordA -WordB = find word A but filter results that include word B
  • WordA +WordB = results much contain both Word A and Word B
  • ~WORD = looks up the word and its synonyms
  • ~WORD -WORD = looks up only the synonyms to the word

聪明地使用Google的7个技巧

我在下面编辑了一份包含7个使用Google的技巧的清单,我相信每个人都会想要知道这些.我认为这些技巧合在一起已经代表了使用Google搜索的所有技巧和方法的最高成就.虽然除此之外还有很多小技巧,但这7个一直是我的最爱,好好享受吧.

1. 找出背后的脸-灵活使用此技巧,你可以过滤Google的图片搜索,使之只出现人的图像.这有什么用?这么说吧,如果你要找一个有名的人的图片,但是与之同名的产品,公司或者地理位置什么的会使你困扰,这个小技巧能让你更得心应手.想使用这个方法,你只需要在标准图片搜索之后在URL地址后面加上后缀&imgtype=face.
例如(请注意URL的不同之处):



2.Google + 社会媒体网站 = 免费的好东东-如果你正在寻找免费的桌面壁纸,股票图片,Wordpress模板或者类似的东西,用Google搜索你最喜欢的社会媒体网站是最好的选择.直接搜索'免费'的时候立即跳出大量垃圾广告信息.但是既然相当数量的社会媒体网站已经有一个社区的用户将优秀的东西进行了筛选和排名,你为什么还要在这些垃圾信息中如履薄冰呢?你需要的只是直接在Google里搜索这些社会媒体网站的内容,然后,哦也....你轻而易举地找到了大量用户挖掘出的优秀资源.
例如:(以下链接没有翻译,因为英文资源比起中文的更加丰富,如果你想找壁纸,模板之类的,最好使用英文) 3.找到免费的匿名网络代理-一个免费的匿名网络代理允许任何浏览器通过代理访问第三方的网页.网络代理在你的浏览器和你要浏览的网站中扮演一个中间人的角色.为什么需要这样?一般有这两个原因:
  • 你在一个公共场所,比如咖啡店或者网吧上网,你希望在你浏览网页的时候保护自己的隐私.你不想网管知道你浏览的每一个网页.
  • 你想要绕过一个网络过滤器或者是你服务器端的禁令(比如众所周知的国内的困境,译者注). 内容过滤在校园网上尤其常见. 这个小技巧通常可以绕过这些限制.
有很多受捐助的服务和程序,例如TOR和付款的VPN服务,可以满足这样的需求.但是这个技巧是免费且方便的,在任何地方,都可以通过Google达到.你只需要按照以下的格式搜索,在结果中选择一个可以用的,然后输入你想浏览网页的地址.

例如: 4.Google搜索音乐,视频,电子书-Google几乎可以搜索所有格式的文件,包括Mp3,PDF,和视频.开放的网络目录是快速找到无数的免费的可下载的文件最简单的方法之一了.这是一个老方法,确是一个好方法!
例如: 5.浏览全球范围内的公开摄像头-你可以通过搜索Google随机地浏览全球范围内的摄像头流媒体.这可能不是最有效的Google技巧,但却是最有趣的!(作者:你可能需要立即安装一个ActiveX控件或者Java运行环境,以允许你的浏览器获取这些视频流格式)

例如(链接前是摄像头的类型) 6.从图片的角度判断一个网页-通过随机查看一个页面上的图片,我们可以高瞻远瞩地了解这个网站的概况.甚至,如果你已经非常了解这个网站的内容,这个技巧也会让你发现一些有趣的东西.几乎可以肯定,你一定会看到一些让你惊奇的图片.你需要做的只是用Google的site搜索:在图像搜索里指向一个网站域名:
例如
7.基于第三方观点的结果-有时候你看一个网页的时候,会想要看看其他的网站对它的评价,以得到一个更全面的了解.allinanchor:这个Google搜索记号可以节省你大量的时间,直接传递你想要的信息.它基于关键字进行严格的搜索,在锚文本或者链接文本中,对第三方网站链接到该网页的内容进行查询.换句话说,这个符号过滤了你的搜索结果,它使Google忽略掉页面的标题和内容,而着重看其他网页对引用页面的借鉴的结果.它会给你的搜索结果带来一个全新的改变.
额外的:
这是一个我最喜欢的Google搜索技巧的清单:
  • link:URL = 列出到链接到目标URL的网页清单.
  • related:URL = 列出于目标URL地址有关的网页.
  • site:domain.com 搜索区域仅限于目标网站.
  • allinurl:WORDS = 只显示在URL地址里有搜索结果的页面.
  • inurl:WORD = 跟allinurl类似,但是只在URL中搜索第一个词.
  • allintitle:WORD = 搜索网页标题.
  • intitle:WORD = 跟allintitle类似,但是只在标题里搜索第一个词.
  • cache:URL = 将显示关于URL的Google缓存(中国不可用).
  • info:URL = 将显示一个包含了这些元素的页面:类似结果的链接,反向链接,还有包括了这个URL的页面.在搜索框里直接输入URL会起到同样的效果.
  • filetype:SOMEFILETYPE = 指定文件类型.
  • -filetype:SOMEFILETYPE = 剔除指定文件类型.
  • site:www.somesite.net “+www.somesite.net” = 显示该站点有多少网页被google收录
  • allintext: = 搜索文本,但不包括网页标题和链接
  • allinlinks: = 搜索链接, 不包括文本和标题
  • WordA OR WordB = 搜索包含两关键词之一的页面
  • “Word” OR “Phrase” = 精确的要求搜索单词或者句子
  • WordA -WordB = 包含单词A但是不包含单词B
  • WordA +WordB = 都包含
  • ~WORD = 寻找此单词和它的同义词
  • ~WORD -WORD = 只搜索同义词,不要原词
