Google search operators

You can use symbols or words in your search to make your search results more precise.

  • Google Search usually ignores punctuation that isn’t part of a search operator.
  • Don’t put spaces between the symbol or word and your search term. A search for site:nytimes.com will work, but site: nytimes.com won’t.

Overall Advanced Search

  1. Go to Advanced Image Search.
  2. Use filters like region or file type to narrow your results.
  3. At the bottom, click Advanced Search.

Search for an exact image size

Right after the word you're looking for, add the text imagesize:widthxheight. Make sure to add the dimensions in pixels.

Put @ in front of a word to search social media. For example: @twitter.

Search for a price

Put $ in front of a number. For example: camera $400.

Search hashtags

Put # in front of a word. For example: #throwbackthursday

How Google search works

Advices from Google for site-owners

Google Web Cache

You can access the cached version for any page that has been saved by Google with this URL:

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:site.com

Change site.com to any URL.

Or you can enter such string to Google search input field:

cache:site.com
