Improving my search skills has been a key part of my cybersecurity journey. Here’s what I’ve learned about using Google Search more effectively.

• "phrase" Can get pages with specific phrase ex: "travel adapter UK"

• site: Specify the domain name so that you can limit the search to that domain ex: site:amazon.com men shoes

• minus sign to avoid search results ex: cyber security training -GRC

• filetype: find a file type instead of a webpage ex: sql injections filetype:pdf

These are not the only ones, there are so many other useful operators like

• intitle:

• inurl:

• related:

• cache:

• OR

• define:

• allinurl:

• intext:
