How to use google?
Insight: The searching result ofen is coming form some specified websites: like stackoverflow for coding problems, stackexchange for engineering problems, vim for plugin information…

I try to write python importing the selenium to search keywords in specified websites. But I found some interesting things on Google Search.

1. How to improve the searching result in Google Search?

Sure, these two are quite different problems. For now, I think I should learn No.2 first. To figure out what the capability of Google Search is.

Duckduckgo: Try it for searching some daily affairs.

So the capabilities of Google Search are:

1. Tell you what’s wrong with the search expression(I use search expression to instead of the keywords, as the search expression is more powerful)
   Pros: ignore invalid character, help you to make keywords precision.

2. site:google.com, only search in the domain area.
   Pros: Search specified site, you don’t need try to think out some tech words for the questions.

3. link:google.com, search websites link to the domain name.
   Pros: Help you to find some Summarization Website or Blogs.

4. related:stackoverflow.com
   Pros: Find some substitutes of the website used.
   FUN: I find netvibes to try

5. OR check one of the two keywords
   Pros: Sometime, not sure which words is the best way to approach the problem

6. “google.com”, check URLS contains the term “google.com”
   Pros: Find some interesting functionality provided by the host.

7. cache:website.com, see the google cache of the website
   Pros: Some times, only cache contains some useful information.

8. -: minus, - excludes the results that include the word or site.
   Pros: useful for some words with multiple meanings
