Looking to get better search results in Google search on your phone? All you need to do is add these improvements to your keyword search to improve the relevance of Google search results. In this article, we will highlight the ways you can improve your searches and find better results for all your questions.
Do you have a bugging question that you can’t find an answer to? A search on Google.com can be a great way to learn about that mystery topic. Enter a few terms and receive results in under a second or so. Typically, the displayed results will either give you the answer you seek or provide a link to a relevant page.
Normally you get standard and relevant search results from a broad keyword. That goes across the board with results popping from News, Videos, Images, and Articles. But when you want to explore a topic in-depth, you can improve the usefulness of your results with a few simple search techniques.
How to get Better search results in Google search?
You can start by modifying Google search preferences. In this section, you can also Enable or disable SafeSearch to exclude explicit content from the results. And Adjust the number of results per page to 50 to display a significant number of results.
To further narrow down your results you can select “Do not show popular searches” to reduce the impact of trending topics. Select the “Open each selected result in a new browser window” so you may explore links without having to repeatedly re-enter your search.
Add a bit more to your search. After your initial keyword phrase (or phrases) in quotes, add a – followed by a word you noted in the undesirable results. In my example, “case management software” returned many results related to systems used by law firms.
So, I extended my search to exclude results with two keywords (e.g., -legal -law). This reduced the number of results to about 240,000. You can use the similar search exclude method to narrow down your results to get a more appropriate and accurate Google search.
Wikipedia serves as a solid starting point for many topics, especially when pages have detailed “see also,” “references” and “further reading” sections with links. Twitter searches help me find people who tweet about topics via “top” and “most recent” searches. For additional resources, I search with DuckDuckGo, Mojeek, or Qwant to access different sets of results.
