You can use Google’s Advanced Search to narrow and
filter your results!
Look at all the
things you can
search by!
Here are some ways to filter your results in the Basic Search
box. Google has a set of 'operators' that you can add to your
search to give it special instructions.
In the Basic Search:
You can search within specific websites by
using the operator 'site: '
The example here is searching
'site:businessinsider.com' - this will only
search our term ‘amazon fire phone’ through
Business Insider's archives.
You can also narrow down results by searching
domains like:
- '.gov' for government sites,
- '.edu' for educational sites,
- or country codes like '.au' for Australian sites.
The operator 'filetype:' is also useful.
For example, you could narrow your results
to only include PDFs...
Or you could only include PPT, DOC,
MP3, AVI etc
You can combine operators to get even
more specific results.
For example, searching for a specific file
type as well as within a particular site.
If you want to search for a specific
phrase, put all the words together in
quotes.
Say you're looking for results about
something that has several different
synonyms (another word that means
the same).
If you search for several phrases with
'OR' between them, Google will search
for both options.
Google also has many different
filters. These are the tabs across the
top bar.
For example, you can search on a
specific topic for news articles only
or videos only etc.
Selecting ‘Search Tools’ allows
you to further filter results within
a tab.
For example, within news you
can search for news only from
the past 24 hours, or only from
Australia etc.
Or within Images, you can filter your research in the
‘Search Tools’ bar by:
• Size,
• colour,
• type (e.g. clipart, photo etc),
• time/date and
• usage rights (this has to do with copyright and
whether you can legally use the image! Read about this
on the library website)
Google's search-by-image tool is also incredibly helpful.
(Go to images.google.com to try it)
For example, if you have
a photo you like but don't
know where it was taken,
you can image search it.
Or say you find something random
and you have no idea what it is.
Take a picture (on a white
background), upload it, and, viola!
Google figures it out for you.
* ‘Google Goggles’ even lets you simply use your
mobile phone camera instead of search words!
Colour filtering in Google image
search can be very helpful. Once
you search for something, you can
find the colour filtering options
under ‘search tools.’
Here, we only get orange kittens.
That might not sound too useful
right off the bat, but it can add
context and let you find images
based on information that might
not be included in the text of
the corresponding page.
Book Search works just like web search. Try a search on Google Books, or by
using the ‘book’ tab. When Google finds a book with content that contains a
match for your search terms, it will link to your search results.
If the book is out of copyright, or the
publisher has given permission, you'll
be able to see a preview of the book,
and in some cases the entire text. If
it's in the public domain, you're free to
download a PDF copy.

Google Scholar provides a simple way
to broadly search for scholarly literature.
From one place, you can search across
many disciplines and sources: articles,
theses, books, abstracts and court
opinions, from academic publishers,
professional societies, online repositories,
universities and other web sites. Google
Scholar helps you find relevant work
across the world of scholarly research.
Read more about this on the library
website. http://scholar.google.com.au/intl/en/scholar/about.html
Searching ‘Translate’
provides a quick and simple
translator.
Or you can click on the
Google Translate link for a
more detailed translator
program.
There's also a 'Manual' feature in Google Translate that lets you
draw characters or symbols.
Now for a Few Extra
Things
Google has a few special search
features that will help you find
what you’re looking for, faster!
You can set a timer on Google (and get an alarm to sound when
time is up) by Googling any amount of time followed by 'timer.'
You can find a gorgeous font that you can use for free
(Google.com/fonts).
Get your culture on by using Google Art Project to check out super
high-res photos of artwork from the world's greatest museums.
Google.com/sky lets you explore the far reaches of the universe
using images from NASA satellite, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and
the Hubble Telescope.
Intimidated by huge numbers? Google will help you figure out how
to pronounce that 12-string number if you type '=english' after it.
If you're looking to do some
cooking, you can filter recipes
on Google by the time it takes
to make, calories, and what
ingredients you have.
Google has fun hidden tricks too!
For example, ‘Google Klingon’.
See what you can find!
