4.3 billion people use Google every day.

But 99.9% of them don't know how to search Google properly.

Here are 15 tips to use Google more efficiently:

Use quotes

When searching for something specific: use quotes.

Search: Sun the perineum

And the engine will search for content that contains those 3 words in any order.

But if you search “Sun the perineum” it will search for that phrase exactly as you typed it.
Use a colon to search specific sites

Search: law of attraction site:https://t.co/XRep1lKOZU

Will show you results on the 'law of attraction' only from my website.
Find sites that are similar to other sites

Search: related:https://t.co/QOHfyrxF81

Will show you all the sites related to Twitter.
Find a specific file

Syntax: Wisdom filetype:pdf

Will show all pdfs related to 'wisdom'.

This can mostly be useful for scholarly purposes, business presentations and other assorted presentations.
Use @ to search social media

Add @ in front of a word to search social media.

Search: infinitians@twitter

Will show all the results for Infinitians from Twitter.
Look for images of specific colour, size, copyright, time or type.

If you search for Deadpool and tune your result to the colour orange

It will give you images of an orange Deadpool.

Yup really.
Compare two or more things using “vs”

If you want to determine whether living in Bali is better than Dubai

Just search: Bali VS Dubai
Spell Those Numbers

How do you spell out 6,546,345,645? Google can tell you if you search [number]=english
Play Games in Google Search

Google has a host of built-in games like Pac-Man, tic tac toe, Solitaire, Minesweeper, and Snake.

Search flip a coin and Google will do it for you; the same thing with a die or spinner.
Create a Google Alert

If you want to be notified whenever a keyword is published on the web

Create a Google Alert
Use a hyphen to exclude words

Using "-" excludes words or phrases from the results.

Search: Rocky -film

Will show results related to 'rocky' in general but not the film Rocky.
Perform a Reverse Image Search

This function allows you to upload an image file and find information on that image.

Eg: if you uploaded a picture of the Eiffel Tower

Google will recognize it and give you information on the Paris monument.
Add a tilde (~) in front of a word to find synonyms

If you search for iPhone ~cheap

You will also get results for "iPhone inexpensive," and so forth.
Use Google search to do math

Perhaps my go-to feature.

Whether it's converting currencies
Dividing a big number
Or even calculating the square root of 4761

Google has you covered.
Leverage Google Shortcuts

• Weather *zip code* – This will show you the weather in the given zip code

• Time *place* – This will display the time in whatever place you type in.

• Define: *word* – This will display the definition of a word.

• Sunrise/Sunset *city*
Use an asterisk in place of words you do not know.

If you forget things and words easily, * will come to your rescue.

Search: imagine all * for today

And google will give you John Lenon on a silver platter.
Do you want to make rational decisions?

Do you want to live a happy life?

Do you want to build a successful business?

You need mental models to achieve them.

Fake chats claiming to be from the Irish African community are being disseminated by the far right in order to suggest that violence is imminent from #BLM supporters. This is straight out of the QAnon and Proud Boys playbook. Spread the word. Protest safely. #georgenkencho


There is co-ordination across the far right in Ireland now to stir both left and right in the hopes of creating a race war. Think critically! Fascists see the tragic killing of #georgenkencho, the grief of his community and pending investigation as a flashpoint for action.


Across Telegram, Twitter and Facebook disinformation is being peddled on the back of these tragic events. From false photographs to the tactics ofwhite supremacy, the far right is clumsily trying to drive hate against minority groups and figureheads.


Declan Ganley’s Burkean group and the incel wing of National Party (Gearóid Murphy, Mick O’Keeffe & Co.) as well as all the usuals are concerted in their efforts to demonstrate their white supremacist cred. The quiet parts are today being said out loud.


The best thing you can do is challenge disinformation and report posts where engagement isn’t appropriate. Many of these are blatantly racist posts designed to drive recruitment to NP and other Nationalist groups. By all means protest but stay safe.
