Data Mining on the Internet with Google

Expand your power of Google. 
 Google (and many other search engines) has the ability not only to search on keywords, but also using a more “database-ish” query language to really narrow down your search results. The following is a summary of a few of the most useful lesser known features. 
 Helpful tips include: 
 
 To include phrases quote the words together (straight quotes). For instance, “Bill Clinton” returns results as most expect whereas a search for Bill Clinton will return pages with the two words anywhere in the resultant page. 
 To exclude words in a search, prefix the word or phrase with a minus sign (-). 
 To restrict a search to a specific domain such as UCLA , use the modifier inurl: (thus, for UCLA append inurl:ucla.edu to the search). 
 If you prefer a form interface for advanced queries, click on "Settings" > "Advanced search" or go directly to https://www.google.com/advanced_search. 
 
 Go in to "Settings" > "Search settings" to display more than ten results per page. 
 
 Here are some pages for crafting better searches.
