There are dozens of search engines which are: &#8211; AOL, A9,Baidu, DOG PILC, Bing and Yahoo search.<\/p>\n<p>Google offers special terms known as operators to help you perform more advanced queries. These Operators help you to extract the exact information you\u2019re looking for without spending too much time wasting over page after page of search results.(Time is precious) Operators are used to refine the results and to maximize the search content. This is your powerful tools as well as Hacker&#8217;s crazy weapons.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>There are two types of Google operators:-<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Basic Operators<\/li>\n<li>Advance Operators<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Basic Operators<\/strong>: -(+, -, ~, ., *, &#8220;&#8221;, OR)<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201c + \u201d (It force inclusion of something common)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Using \u201c+\u201dIt forces Google to search for a particular keyword.
