Search operators use list with example

Search Operators	Example	Use
Double Quote	“search term”	Force an exact-match search
OR	jobs OR gates / jobs | gates(|)	Search for X or Y. This will return results related to X or Y, or both. Note: The pipe (|) operator can also be used in place of “OR.”
AND	jobs AND gates	Search for X and Y. This will return only results related to both X and Y. Note: It doesn’t really make much difference for regular searches, as Google defaults to “AND” anyway. But it’s very useful when paired with other operators.
-	jobs ‑apple	Exclude a term or phrase. In our example, any pages returned will be related to jobs but not Apple (the company).
*	steve * apple	Acts as a wildcard and will match any word or phrase.
( )	(ipad OR iphone) apple	Group multiple terms or search operators to control how the search is executed.
$	ipad $329	Search for prices. Also works for Euro (€), but not GBP (£) 🙁
define:	define:entrepreneur	A dictionary built into Google, basically. This will display the meaning of a word in a card-like result in the SERPs.
cache:	cache:apple.com	Returns the most recent cached version of a web page (providing the page is indexed, of course).
filetype:	apple filetype:pdf / apple ext:pdf	Restrict results to those of a certain filetype. E.g., PDF, DOCX, TXT, PPT, etc.
site:	site:apple.com	Limit results to those from a specific website.
related:	related:apple.com	Find sites related to a given domain.
intitle:	intitle:apple	Find pages with a certain word (or words) in the title. In our example, any results containing the word “apple” in the title tag will be returned.
allintitle:	allintitle:apple iphone	Similar to “intitle,” but only results containing all of the specified words in the title tag will be returned.
inurl:	inurl:apple	Find pages with a certain word (or words) in the URL. For this example, any results containing the word “apple” in the URL will be returned.
allinurl:	allinurl:apple iphone	Similar to “inurl,” but only results containing all of the specified words in the URL will be returned.
intext:	intext:apple	Find pages containing a certain word (or words) somewhere in the content. For this example, any results containing the word “apple” in the page content will be returned.
allintext:	allintext:apple iphone	Similar to “intext,” but only results containing all of the specified words somewhere on the page will be returned.
AROUND(X)	apple AROUND(4)	Proximity search. Find pages containing two words or phrases within X words of each other. For this example, the words “apple” and “iphone” must be present in the content and no further than four words apart.
weather:		Find the weather for a specific location. This is displayed in a weather snippet, but it also returns results from other “weather” websites.
map:	map:silicon valley	Force Google to show map results for a locational search.
source:	apple source:the_verge	Find news results from a certain source in Google News.
_	apple CEO _ jobs	Google Autocomplete
#..#	wwdc video 2010..2014	Search for a range of numbers. In the example below, searches related to “WWDC videos” are returned for the years 2010–2014, but not for 2015 and beyond.
inanchor:	inanchor:apple iphone	Find pages that are being linked to with specific anchor text. For this example, any results with inbound links containing either “apple” or “iphone” in the anchor text will be returned.
allinanchor:	allinanchor:apple iphone	Similar to “inanchor,” but only results containing all of the specified words in the inbound anchor text will be returned.
blogurl:	blogurl:microsoft.com	Find blog URLs under a specific domain. This was used in Google blog search, but I’ve found it does return some results in regular search.
loc:placename	loc:"san francisco" apple	Find results from a given area.
+	jobs +apple	Force an exact-match search on a single word or phrase.
~	~apple	Include synonyms. Doesn’t work, because Google now includes synonyms by default. (Hint: Use double quotes to exclude synonyms.)
inpostauthor:	inpostauthor:”steve jobs”	Find blog posts written by a specific author. This only worked in Google Blog search, not regular Google search.
allinpostauthor:	allinpostauthor:steve jobs	Similar to “inpostauthor,” but removes the need for quotes (if you want to search for a specific author, including surname.)
inposttitle:	intitle:apple iphone	Find blog posts with specific words in the title. No longer works, as this operator was unique to the discontinued Google blog search.
link:	link:apple.com	Find pages linking to a specific domain or URL. Google killed this operator in 2017, but it does still show some results—they likely aren’t particularly accurate though. (Deprecated in 2017)
info:	info:apple.com / id:apple.com	Find information about a specific page, including the most recent cache, similar pages, etc. (Deprecated in 2017). Note: The id: operator can also be used—the results are identical.
daterange:	steve jobs daterange:11278-13278	Find results from a certain date range. Uses the Julian date format, for some reason.
phonebook:	phonebook:tim cook	Find someone’s phone number. (Deprecated in 2010)
