Mastering the Art of Search: Tips

Improving my search skills has been a key part of my cybersecurity journey. Here’s what I’ve learned about using Google Search more effectively.

  • "phrase" Can get pages with specific phrase ex: "travel adapter UK"

  • site: Specify the domain name so that you can limit the search to that domain ex: site:amazon.com men shoes

  • minus sign to avoid search results ex: cyber security training -GRC

  • filetype: find a file type instead of a webpage ex: sql injections filetype:pdf

These are not the only ones, there are so many other useful operators like

  • intitle:

  • inurl:

  • related:

  • cache:

  • OR

  • define:

  • allinurl:

  • intext:
