Tips For More Effective Googling

intitle
Matches the following keyword against Web page titles in Google's index. Dramatically narrows results and makes them more relevant. For example, intitle: dog training, displays Web pages with dog in the title and training in the title or page.

allintitle
Forces all the following keywords to match against Web page titles in Google's index. Narrows results even more than intitle. For example, allintitle: dog training displays Web pages with both dog and training in the title.

inurl
Matches the following keyword against URLs (addresses) in Google's index. Severely narrows results and makes them highly relevant. For example, with inurl:fleet online banking, the results would have fleet in the URL and online and banking in the URL (not likely) or the page (likely).

allinurl
Forces all the following keywords to match against URLs in Google's index. Ferociously restricts search results. For example, with allinurl:yankees tickets, the results would have both yankees and tickets in the page URL.

filetype
Restricts the keyword search to results of a certain file type, such as Adobe Acrobat .pdf files or Microsoft Word .doc files. Excellent for conducting research. Example: speed of light filetype:pdf. link

link
Finds incoming links to whatever URL you provide after the operator. The search displays sites that contain links to the specified URL. Example: link:www.blablabla.com

info
When paired with a URL, this operator displays links to further information about the specified site. Example: info:www.youtube.com

cache
Displays Google's cached (stored) snapshot of whatever URL follows the operator. Good for taking a short hop back in time. Example: cache:www.blablabla.com

site
One of the most important operators, this one restricts search results to a specified URL. Works with top-level domain extensions such as .edu and .gov by themselves in place of a specific site URL. Example: yankees red sox site:www.lapd.com

Internet Tips (1)

There are a few things you can tweak in Internet Explorer. They all are accessible in Internet Explorer from the Internet Options dialog box (available from the Tools menu):

1.From the General tab, you can delete cookies and/or temporary Internet files. Cookies are text files placed on your computer by the web sites you visit, and they store information about your preferences when you visit. Temporary Internet files store graphics and web pages as you view them, so the next time you visit the site, the information will be cached and load faster. Both can give information about your surfing habits to those who also have access to your computer and know where and how to look for private information.

2.From the Content tab, you can disable AutoComplete. AutoComplete lists possible matches for your partially typed web addresses, forms, usernames, and passwords. Disabling this will help maintain your privacy when others are accessing your computer.If you have AutoComplete on, any user can simply type in a couple of letters of your user name, if they can guess it, and a password will then often appear automatically

3.From the Security tab, you can create custom levels of security using the Custom Level button and configuring options in the resulting Security Settings dialog box. Here, you can disable, enable, or be prompted when ActiveX controls and plug-ins are run; enable, disable, or prompt for downloads; and require user authentication just to name a few of the many options.

4.From the Privacy tab, you can override automatic cookie handling, by choosing to accept, block, or prompt first- and third-party cookies.
