How do I use Google? Strap in, and let’s learn some google-fu. 🤺
Double Quotes
Wrap your keywords in double quotes like this.
"google fu"
Try it out: https://www.google.com/search?q=“google+fu”
Google will only return pages with “google-fu” in the content.
Exclude Keyword
Building on the previous example.
"google fu" -medium
I’m not fond of Medium, so I’ll keep that out of my results.
Try it out: https://www.google.com/search?q=“google+fu”+-medium
Search One Site
I bet Urban Dictionary has something to say about google-fu.
Search in a single website, and reduce the noise.
google fu site:https://www.urbandictionary.com
Combine your double-quote fu with your site fu to get more specific.
Try it out: https://www.google.com/search?q=site:https://www.urbandictionary.com+google+fu
Search By Date Range
I don’t want any new-school google-fu, so I’ll limit the range.
