More on Advanced Search operators

Refine web searches

You can use symbols or words in your search to make your search results more precise.

• Google Search usually ignores punctuation that isn’t part of a search operator.

• Don’t put spaces between the symbol or word and your search term. A search for site:nytimes.com will work, but site: nytimes.com won’t.

Advance Google Searches
