5 tips for better results: This is how you stay discouraged when searching on Google

If you enter more than one keyword into Google, the results will not always be satisfactory; especially when it comes to specific search queries. If you search on Google for the price of a VW Golf GTI 2022, you will see over 2.6 million entries (search entry: “VW Golf GTI 2022 Swiss price”). Many are non-specific and refer to other models or prices in other countries. However, if you put the car model in quotes when entering Google, you will force the search engine to search exactly. Entering “”VW Golf GTI 2022” Price Switzerland” yields only four results, all of which are usable.

In daily life, you often hear terms that you do not fully know or cannot clearly define. What was it with the recruits? What exactly is a short circuit? So what is the definition of the term “woke”? You then intuitively enter the keyword into Google. The results of such a simple search are often confusing and not very useful, especially when it comes to politically charged terms like “woke.” The “Define:” operator can help here. If you type the more precise entry “define: woke” instead of “woke”, you will get specific definitions or entries from relevant dictionaries or dictionaries in the first search results. According to Duden, “being woke” means: being politically alert and committed to opposing (especially racist, sexist, or social) discrimination.

It can be helpful to exclude certain search results from the start, especially when it comes to vague terms. For example, if you are looking for a company or person named Weber in the canton of Bern, it is recommended to enter “Weber Bern -Grill”. With a simple search for “Weber Bern” you run the risk of getting a huge number of results not only for people, but also for Weber grills, grill accessories or grill shops. “-Grid” filters these results, but ads for Weber grids still appear.

Google searches can be further refined by combining the operators described above. For example, if you want to see what federal officials have written about childhood vaccines and their risks, type “site:admin.ch children’s vaccines AND their risks.” Then the results will be even more accurate. The AND operator forces Google to further refine its search. This can be used to enhance almost any Google search, whether you’re searching for ‘Chillon Castle’ AND ‘public toilet’, ‘Bernese Oberland’ AND children AND hiking’, or ‘Roger Federer’.’ AND “French Open” AND victory » I googled.
