Just copy this page onto your harddisk as c:\main.htm
(or whatever), and then use it (after having edited anything you fancy) in order
to perform EFFECTIVE searches on the web (and elsewhere) using the main search
engines.
Note that just because one, hundred, or thousand pages from a site
are crawled and made searchable trough one of the main search engines, this
does not guarantee that every page from an indexed site has really been
crawled and indexed. This shortcoming hits not only 'new' pages, that can take
MONTHS to be indexed: beehives of spiders harvesting a site often MISS whole
subdirectories, old and new. Useful material may be all but invisible to those
that only use 'main' search tools to seek. You would be well advised to use regional engines, specialized or
targeted search tools, combing
techniques and your own bots as well, when searching.
Finally remember that you can easily search and find targets that [DO NOT EXIST ANY
MORE] as well :-)

+,-,",OR,(), AND is the default boolean operator not case sensitive no stemming, seems to do 'something' with NEAR Special syntax: site:, link:, inurl:, intitle:, filetype: Read the [Google in depth] & the [Google moves to Linux] pages Google searches inside PDF files! Moreover, it locates the text most relevant to your specific query and highlights your keywords and its context! Very quick and very accurate (until sommer 2001) because of its algos, it is very useful for all kind of stalking purposes because of its CACHED pages! Use + to force stopwords for instance: +"index +of/mp3" +dylan :-) "Well, yes, Google seems to do 'something' with some boolean operators... we just don't know exactly what..." USE the special syntax! For instance the extremely useful filetype:... "+fravia +filetype:pdf" will give you 'high level' docs, whereas "+fravia -filetype:htm -filetype:html" will help to avoid 'redundant' pages when seeking (thank Nemo!)
Since most search engines are just keen on making money no matter how, Google represented a breath of fresh air, and (mostly) held the promise of delivering high relevancy results without all the extraneous and often ridicolous and annoying 'services' of the larger portals. Google is expanding quickly and had now swallowed Deja's huge usenet database as well: Recently Google introduced its own Images search service! |
