Eryri Learning Tips :: Using search strings

• If you enter words without a modifier between words (example: red hot chili), then Google will think you mean AND (example red AND hot AND chili) and will search for all the words.
• You can use a variety of syntaxes such as AND and OR (example: flipflops OR sandals OR clogs).
• You can search for expressions by putting them in parentheses (example: "red hot chili peppers")
• You cannot stem for parts of a word (use a wildcard like * or ? in Google) but you can use an asterisk as a full word wild card (example: red * chili would find red hot chili, red white chili, etc).
• Using special syntaxes
  intitle: restricts the search to the title of pages (example intitle:"tony blair")
  inurl: restricts the search to URLs of web pages (example inurl:search)
  intext: searches only bodytext (example intext:"eryri.net")
  site: narrows the search to a site or top level domain (example site:"tony blair")
  link: returns a list of pages linking to a URL (example: link:www.eryri.net) (nb you don't need to worry about the http:// part of the URL
