Here are some of our favorite google tricks.
1. Dictionary
Google can serve as an online dictionary. Just type DEFINE: before the word you need defined. For example, “DEFINE: school” will give you the definition of the word “school.”

2. Get exactly what you are looking for
If your searches turn up results that are too general, try using quotation marks to limit your search to the exact term or phrase in the search.

3. This...but not that
The subtraction symbol can be used to exclude certain words from your results. If you want info on Titanic the ship, but not the motion picture of the same name, you should search “Titanic -movie”.

4. Find what you can’t remember
Can’t remember all the words? No problem! Just substitute asterisks for the words you don’t know, Google will find terms that match the phrase using the asterisks as variables. This is helpful when searching for those song lyrics you only kind of remember.
