| I stumbled across a Pinterest pin about refining search results within Google. Some I knew, others I found interesting.
"search query" - Quote marks will return only search results with the exact word(s) within the quotes
-query - Add a - before a word to exclude results that include that word
~query - Add a ~ tilde sign directing in front of a word to search for that word, INCLUDING that word's synonyms.
site:site.com "query" - Limits your searching for a set query to a specific web-site for a specific word or phrase. EXAMPLE: site:newagtalk.com "John Deere"
links:site.com - Finds links to a domain or web-site from other domains or web-sites. EXAMPLE: links:newagtalk.com
site:site.com - Find all pages of a domain - EXAMPLE: site:NewAgTalk.com
site:sub-directory.site.com - Will limit search to a specific sub-domain - EXAMPLE site:talk.newagtalk.com
site:site.com/folder - Will limit search to a folder of that domain - EXAMPLE: newagtalk.com/AgTalk_Store
intitle:query - Find websites that have a specific word in the title - EXAMPLE: intitle: "AgTalk"
allintitle:query - Find websites that have ALL of the words in the title - EXAMPLE: allintitle: "John Deere beats Minneapolis Moline"
allinurl:query - Find websites that have ALL of the query words as part of the web-address (URL) - EXAMPLE: allinurl:Massey
