Last article on search methods? You’re wasting your Life (1) We’ve learned some basic uses of Google. In this article I’ll take you through more fun and advanced uses of it. (Unless otherwise specified, the following does not contain double signals, and the bold part is the content in the input gold search box). This section opens multi-graph traffic warning.
Search tips
Use “$” to search for a specific price
Let’s say we search for a camera that costs $400, “Camera $400.”
Use “..” , searches for numbers in a specified range
For example, search for “camera $400.. $800 “(of course shopping websites excel at this kind of scenario)
Use fileType: to search for files of a specified type
Sometimes we need to search the Internet for a specific type of document. If you’re in the middle of a job search and want to download a resume template, you’ll be bombarded with spam if you just search “resume.” Now you can search for “Programmer resume fileType :docx”
As you can see, there is a [DOC] mark at the beginning of each item to tell us that this is a DOC document, and clicking on any item will download the document directly. Is it convenient? In the same vein, you can download files in other formats (search by file suffix), such as PDF, XLSX (Excle files), etc
Use * to search for wildcards or unknown words
In some cases, we do not necessarily need precise search, may be just a bit of a fuzzy concept or frame, then we can use the “*” wildcard to search, for example, I want to know various rankings of China’s cities, which is “most of the city”, then I can search “China’s most * campus”, note that an asterisk before and after the space
Use site: to search for a specific website
Sometimes we only focus on the content on certain sites, so we need to filter out the content on other sites. If you are a programmer and only want to search for Glide related articles published on CSDN, search “Glide site:csdn.net”
Of course, if you are a rice fan, you may search “mi 8 site:jd.com” to get information about mi 8 sold on jd.com, which does not contain information about the product on other shopping websites.
Built-in widgets
In this section, we’ll take a look at some of the built-in utilities Google provides to make our searches fun and efficient.
The weather
Search “weather” directly in the search box, will display the current location of the weather temperature chart. Of course, you can also manually specify the location to search, such as “Weather Beijing”
You can check temperature, precipitation probability, wind power, etc. If you pay a little attention, you can see that this is actually “weather.com”, which is previewed directly in the search results. The following tools are similar
The calculator
Search box directly search “calculator”, in the search out of the calculator page can be calculated.
Of course, we could just type in some simple arithmetic, such as “100+200”, into the search box, and Google would display the result directly in the calculator above.
Color picker
Sometimes when you’re writing code, you need to check to see if the colors you’ve designed are correct or to pick the colors yourself, so you can use this tool. Search for “Color picker” in the search bar.
We can drag the color slider or manually enter the color value to select the color
Currency conversion
We can directly input the currency to be converted, such as “USD to RMB”, or we can directly input the value to be converted, such as “usd 10 to RMB”.
As you can see, here we can choose the currency we want to exchange, and it also shows the recent exchange rate change
translation
We directly search for “translation”, the following search box will appear, we can easily carry out a variety of language conversion, without the need to install translation software, special efficiency.
Of course, we can also directly input the language we want to translate, for example to translate the word “hello” into Chinese, we can directly use “Hello in Chinese”
As you can see, after we input the word “in”, it will automatically prompt us to choose the language we want to translate.
Draw graphs according to mathematical formulas
We can just type in the math formula in the browser and see what it looks like, which is pretty cool, like the graph for cos(3x)+sin(x)
Of course, we can draw multiple functions in one coordinate at the same time, so we just separate them with commas, like “cos(3x)+sin(x), cos(7x)+sin(x), x.”
Well, that’s all for now. This video is relatively easy. The next article, the last in this series, will cover a little bit of image-related search techniques and the use of advanced search. You’re a waste of your Life
