How to search on Google?

Lets come, Today we have Learn a few tips and tricks to help you easily find information on Google

If you’re like me, you probably use Google many times a day. But chances are, unless you're a technology geek, you probably still use Google in its simplest form. If your current use of Google is limited to typing in a few words and changing your query until you find what you’re looking for, then I’m here to tell you that there’s a better way -- and it’s not hard to learn.

Tip 1: Start with the basics :

No matter what you're looking for, start with a simple search like where's the closest airport?. You can always add a few descriptive words if necessary.
If you're looking for a place or product in a specific location, add the location. For example, bakery Seattle.

Tip 2: Search using your voice :

Tired of typing? Say "Ok Google" or choose the microphone icon to search using your voice. Learn more about "Ok Google" and voice search.

Tip 3: Choose words carefully :
When you're deciding what words to put in the search box, try to choose words that are likely to appear on the site you're looking for. For example, instead of saying my head hurts, say headache, because that’s the word a medical site would use.

Tip 4: Don’t worry about the little things :

Spelling. Google's spell checker automatically uses the most common spelling of a given word, whether or not you spell it correctly.
Capitalization. A search for New York Times is the same as a search for new york times.

Tip 5: Find quick answers :

For many searches, Google will do the work for you and show an answer to your question in the search results. Some features, like information about sports teams, aren't available in all regions.

Weather: Search weather to see the weather in your location or add a city name, like weather Seattle, to find weather for a certain place.
Dictionary: Put define in front of any word to see its definition.
Calculations: Enter a math equation like 3*9123, or solve complex graphing equations.
Unit conversions: Enter any conversion, like 3 dollars in euros.
Sports: Search for the name of your team to see a schedule, game scores and more.
Quick facts: Search for the name of a celebrity, location, movie, or song to find related information.

Search operators :

You can use search operators and other punctuation to get more specific search results. Except for the examples below, Google Search usually ignores punctuation.

Punctuation & symbols:

Even though you can use the punctuation marks below when you search, including them doesn’t always improve the results. If we don't think the punctuation will give you better results, you'll see suggested results for that search without punctuation.

Symbol	How to use it
`+`	Search for Google+ pages or blood types - Examples: `+Chrome` or `AB+`
`@`	Find social tags- Example: `@agoogler`
`$`	Find prices- Example: `nikon $400`
`#`	Find popular hashtags for trending topics- Example: `#throwbackthursday`
`-`	When you use a dash before a word or site, it excludes sites with that info from your results. This is useful for words with multiple meanings, like Jaguar the car brand and jaguar the animal.- Examples: `jaguar speed -car` or `pandas -site:wikipedia.org`
`"`	When you put a word or phrase in quotes, the results will only include pages with the same words in the same order as the ones inside the quotes. Only use this if you're looking for an exact word or phrase, otherwise you'll exclude many helpful results by mistake.- Example: `"imagine all the people"`
`*`	Add an asterisk as a placeholder for any unknown or wildcard terms.- Example: `"a * saved is a * earned"`
`..`	Separate numbers by two periods without spaces to see results that contain numbers in a range.- Example: camera `$50..$100`
