Save time when surfing the web

Picture 1 of Save time when surfing the web Searching and downloading information online is a very practical need for Internet users, however, most Internet users do not know how to search or use search tools. Online. With this article we want to provide some tips to help you "scour" to every corner of the network while saving time and cost when surfing the web.

Try many search engines

Google is currently being evaluated as the number one search engine (BMTK) with a very fast search speed, supports 97 languages and nearly ten billion web hosting. Recently, Google launched a search service in the form of questions and answers, making searching easier. However, other BMTKs like Ask Jeeves and Yahoo also offer this feature. So try many BMTKs. The reason is that although BMTKs are linked together, that does not mean that all BMTKs give the same results, the two BMTK will give different results with the same search keyword, because they use different data processing methods. Therefore, when you have not found the necessary information, try other BMTKs.

Use some special syntax

Using some special syntax (also called operator) will help you narrow the scope of your search. Some websites allow you to use logical operators on search bars, but some other sites require you to use the site's advanced options. For example, if you type more words AND in the middle of search keywords (that is, both search keywords must appear), OR (one or both keywords must be present) or NOT (keywords behind is present). Besides using the upper limits, you can use parentheses and quotation marks to group search limits. You can refer to some special syntax in the box below.

Type the correct keyword.

In general, BMTKs operate on the very principle that they are looking for the exact keywords required by users, so you should carefully check the keywords when you get strange results, or Unexpected results.

Search on specialized websites.

Many people think that the popular BMTK can find any information available online, which is not true because in fact there are many websites that lack links that make BMTK not find or have some pages. The web that BMTK robots cannot pull in data types like photos, music and PDF files. In addition, many databases require visitors to have ID and password identifiers, preventing BMTK robots. However, you may find and access these data through a number of specialized portals or search sites that provide access to these "hard to find" websites, such as www. completeplanet.com, http://infomine.ucr.edu, http://search.asiaco.com (specializing in Asian-related topics), www.findarticles.com (specializing in finding articles published) over 300 different sources) .

Check the source of the information.

Through search sites you get a lot of information, but not all information is reliable, so you need to redefine the information value, especially with financial and health information. Some disclosure tools tell you who owns the information you receive, thereby re-evaluating the value through the brand and reputation of the organization that has the information.

Browse the web offline

While downloading documents online, you can surf the web. Web browsers often allow you to perform simultaneous downloads, so you can easily download multiple software at the same time if you visit sites that allow free downloads. The best way to reduce network connection time is to download web pages to your computer for offline reading, in case you are not connected, you can still read your favorite information.

Download the website as follows: Go to the web page> Select Favorites on the menu bar> Add to Favorites> Make available offline> Customize> Next> Finish .

Intitle: limit the search results to pages that match the title. For example, typing Harry Potter intitle: Half-blood Prince, will search all pages containing information about Harry Potter, the same page must be titled Half-blood Prince. The syntax Intitle only works on the word immediately next to the :, and the allintitle syntax acts on all words behind it.

Intext: search for keywords in the text of the content of the page but ignore the page title. Similar to allintext.

Site: limits search results in specific domain names. For example, enter Newzeland Scholarship site: edu will find information about Newzeland scholarships on pages with edu.

Link: search for pages that link to the specified page. For example, link: www.vnpt.com.vn will show the result as a list of VNPT websites.

Sometimes, you can use a combination of several syntaxes to get a narrower search result.
