We all use the Internet to work, study, to search for the necessary information. Therefore, we all actively use search engines that are developed by various companies with different ownership forms using various algorithms. However, there is something in common that Yandex, Bing, and Google offer, an advanced search. We will try to analyze this issue. What is the Google Advanced Search feature for an average user?
So, suppose we need information that matches our key request, let it be "weather in Tokyo." Typing this phrase in the search engine, we get a list of Russian-language resources, where we can check this very weather. At the same time, if we use the Google “advanced search” function, we can give the browser a task to find, for example, all relevant queries in English (or Japanese, Chinese). In addition, there is a function that allows us to find information for a certain period of time. So, if we are interested in the weather in Tokyo over the past week, we can ask for the latest news. If our task is to describe annual changes, we can search for all suitable results for the month, quarter, year.
An advanced Google search is also useful if we are looking for photos for material or pictures on our topic. Here we can search not only for keywords. An advanced search in Google Images can filter pictures and photos with a specific size in pixels or megabytes, by type (picture, clipart, photo, portrait), by time of change or addition - in the last 24 hours, per day, per week.
Of course, it’s worth using the search tools provided by the “advanced Google search” option even if we are looking for books or documents. Remember that the company is constantly expanding its resource capabilities. Each document that appears in the Google database becomes a source for further work with it.
In addition, ever new services are constantly appearing - from the already well-known and beloved gmail to virtual libraries, museums, educational projects. The latter should stop separately.
In addition to the fact that the advanced Google search works for the user's own documents, as well as for those to which he has access, there is an opportunity on the Google Academy website to find materials for study and scientific work. Here, the search engine will sort the data by popularity - by citation of publications, calculate the average frequency for each language, help to automatically issue a quote for use in your scientific work (in an abstract or dissertation) in compliance with the rules for compiling a bibliography. If in the advanced search we are looking for news - a search engine will help us get to the source.
Given the fact that algorithms are constantly being improved, new opportunities appear for many professionals. Advanced Google search becomes an indispensable tool for work: here you can set not only filters by words or phrases, but also with the presence of certain numbers, by date of update, by license. You can set search security and search for information only on sites where we do not come across something that could offend our taste or feelings. You can search for similar pages or filter the search by file type (for example, if we are only interested in text documents or tables). The Google Advanced Search feature is now at the bottom of the page below the standard search results for the query.
