Data Mining using Google IV

Putting it all Together:

Now it’s time to start to get creative with our search terms and really narrow down our results. Now that we have the basics, let’s start to combine them all into one search term.
Example #1: Search for some MP3sLet’s say you’re a Beatles fan and want to see if you can find some of their songs on the Internet without using Kazaa, etc. Try this query:
"index of" + "mp3″ + "beatles" -html -htm -phpor you could try this query:* "index of/mp3″ -playlist -html -lyrics beatles

Right away on the first few results returned by Google you can download MP3s.
Example #2: Mixing some techniques together
Here’s a simple exercise. We’ll mix around a few terms to get more accurate results. Let’s say we want to research sleep recommendations. One assumption could be that research papers on this topic would most likely be on an educational website — perhaps with a .edu domain. We could try this query:
sleep recommendations site:edu
Maybe we’re in my situation, and am thinking of applying to grad school. Let’s see if we can find the Graduate Studies Admissions Requirements at the University of Toronto. We could try this query:
grad school admission requirements site:utoronto.ca

Summary:

After reading this article, you might be thinking "well, I could probably find those results without remembering these advanced search terms". Well, the truth is that you probably could. The reason you want to start to use these advanced search tips is because they will help you find what you’re looking for faster. They greatly help narrow down the results, and more often than not, the information you were looking for will be in the first two or three results.
