I use advanced search options to help me get what I want, but that is not the best way for ALL, what are your thoughts/ tips/ techniques?
I thought I would write a little guide to google's advanced search options (my technique). Google automaticaly blocks words 3 letters or less, sometimes they are key word, stop this by typing "your word here" you can use this as many times as you wish. To find an exact phrase, type "the phrase here". if you want results only from one site enter site: TheDomainNameHere.domain . To accept only from one type of domain enter, for example, Site: .com. I will edit this later, when I learn more advanced search options. |

A few I use a lot:
site:url - returns only sites from the url specified intitle:word or intitle:"phrase" - returns only pages with word or phrase in the title inurl:part_of_a_url - only shows pages with part_of_a_url in the url |

Meh, those things to confuzing for my simple brain.
 Normally, when I just enter what I want to find, it shows up in either the first page or the second page, which is good enough for me.

Google Search Tips:
1) +word - Automatically INCLUDES the word in the search query, no matter what. 2) -word - Automatically EXCLUDES the word in search results. 3) "phrase" - Searches for the exact phrase. 4) site:URL - Only searches within a specific site. 5) allintitle:word - Only searches for the word(s) in the <title> section of a page. 6) allintext:word - Only searches for the word(s) in the <body> section of a page. 7) allinurl:word - Only searches for the word(s) in the URL of a page. 8) allinanchor:word - Only searches for the word(s) in links to the page. 9) word filetype:pdf - Searches for the word(s) in PDF files. PDF can be replaced by doc, xls, ppt, ps, rtf IN Advanced Options, you can search by date, language and/or Creative Commons Licence. SafeSearch can also be enabled there.

Learn all that in here:
http://johnny.ihackstuff.com or here: Google Hacking Database (GHDB) http://johnny.ihackstuff.com/index.php?module=prodreviews Also google has a good and simple tutorial on how to use the advanced operators manually: http://www.google.com/help/operators.html Just a note, the advanced operators can be used automatically if you use the google advanced search page, try it here: http://www.google.com/advanced_search At http://johnny.ihackstuff.com , you will learn how to protect yourself from the "google hackers" because the advanced operators you're talking about are a pain in the head for website and network admins when they are used for the bad reasons, for example, to find passwords, sensitive data, vulnerabilities, personal information, private information, and tons more of ilegal information. Normally and usually people will not use this advanced operators, not all have the I.Q. enough to use them to find stuff, only the smart ones will try to learn and use and those are only a few, and if you want to find those few guys, visit the above website and contribute to protect your website and other's websites as well. ps: sorry if i've heart anyone.
