Google. Advanced search as a working tool
We all use the Internet to work, study, to find the right information. And consequently, we all actively use search engines, which are developed by different companies with different forms of ownership for various algorithms. However, there is also something in common that Yandex, Bing, and Google offer, an expanded search. We will try to analyze this issue. What is and what does Google's "advanced search" feature mean for an ordinary user?
So, suppose we need information that corresponds to our key query, let it be "weather in Tokyo". Typing in the search engine this phrase, we get a list of Russian-language resources, where we can check this very weather. At the same time, if we use Google's advanced search function, we can give the browser the task of finding, for example, all relevant queries in English (or Japanese, Chinese). In addition, there is a function that allows us to find information for a certain period of time. So, if we are interested in the weather in Tokyo for the last week, we can ask for the latest news. If our task is to describe the annual changes, we can search for all the suitable results for the month, quarter, year.
Advanced Google search is also useful if we are looking for photos for a material or pictures on our topic. Here we can search not only for keywords. Advanced search in "Google Images" can filter images and photos with a certain size in pixels or megabytes, by type (picture, clipart, picture, portrait), by time of change or addition - for the last 24 hours, per day, per week.
In addition, all the new services are constantly appearing - from already well-known and beloved gmail to virtual libraries, museums, educational projects. On the last it is necessary to stop separately.
In addition to the fact that the advanced Google search works for the user's own documents, as well as for those to whom it is granted access, there is an opportunity on the Google-Academy website to find materials for study and scientific work. Here, the search engine sorts out the popularity data - by quoting publications, calculates the average frequency for each language, will automatically create a quote for use in your scientific work (in the abstract or the thesis), complying with the rules of bibliography. If in the advanced search we are looking for news - the search engine will help us get to the source.
