6. By Interval or Numeric Ranges
If you want to get results in between a range or time period then just add (..) without brackets between the amount that will limit the search.
Let explain it with an example, if you want to purchase a Xiaomi phone between the price range $100 to $300
type- Xiaomi $100..$300
7. Similar Content
If you are looking for sites which containing the similar material then just use related: xyz.com
Ex- If you want to get similar site results of amazon.com
type- related:amazon.com
8. Include or Exclude
If you want to include any term related to your search query then simply use (+) after your query and on other hand if you don’t want to something to show in results just use (-) at the last of your query words.
Ex- Suppose if you want to get search results about TATA company they have huge business empire. And you don’t want to know about their steel then
type- tata -steel
Similarly in case, you need to add something in your search results just use + with your query.
9. Unit and currency conversion
It’s very useful for all of us because most of the time we need to convert one unit to other and sometimes currency also.
Ex- type- 300 foot to inch to get foot into inch
10. This OR That
By default, when you conduct a search, Google will include all the terms specified in the search. If you’re looking for any one of one or more terms to match, then you can use the OR operator in capital letter.
Ex- inbound marketing OR advertising
