+
+Phrase Search.
+--------------
+
+Use double quotes to search exactly mutch of string. Words marked in this way
+will appear together in all results exactly as entered::
+
+ "WORD1 WORD2 WORD3"
+
+Note: You may need to use a "+" to force inclusion of common words in a phrase.
+
+Boolean OR Search.
+------------------
+
+"OR" capital is essential::
+
+ WORD1 OR WORD2
+
+Remove site from search by "-site:"::
+
+ WORD1 WORD2 -site:ebay.com -site:shopping.com
+
+Include query term (search exactly as is).
+------------------------------------------
+
+If a common word is essential to getting the results you want, you can include
+it by putting a "+" sign in front of it::
+
+ +WORD WORD1 WORD2
+
+Exclude query term.
+-------------------
+
+You can exclude a word from your search by putting a minus sign ("-")
+immediately in front of the term you want to exclude from the search results::
+
+ WORD1 WORD2 -WORD
+
+Fill in the blanks.
+-------------------
+::
+
+ GNU *
+ Mozilla *
+
+Site Restricted Search.
+-----------------------
+::
+
+ site:example.com WORD1 WORD2
+ site:.gov WORD
+
+Cached Results Page.
+--------------------
+
+The query prefix "cache:" returns the cached HTML version of the specified web
+document that the Google search crawled. Note there can be no space between
+"cache:" and the web page URL. If you include other words in the query, Google
+will highlight those words within the cached document::
+
+ cache:www.google.com
+
+Use Google as a free proxy (if direct access bloked): cache:example.com
+
+Title Search.
+-------------
+
+Restricts the results to those with all of the query words in the title::
+
+ intitle:WORD1 intitle:WORD2 WORD3
+ allintitle:WORD1 WORD2
+
+Note: Putting "intitle:" in front of every word in your query is equivalent to
+putting "allintitle:" at the front of your query.
+
+URL Search.
+-----------
+
+If you prepend "inurl:" to a query term, Google search restricts the results to
+documents containing that word in the result URL. Note there can be no space
+between the "inurl:" and the following word.
+
+Starting a query with the term "allinlinks:" restricts the results to those with
+all of the query words in the URL links on the page::
+
+ inurl:WORD1 inurl:WORD2 WORD
+ allinurl: WORD1 WORD2
+
+Note: "inurl:" works only on words, not URL components. In particular, it
+ignores punctuation and uses only the first word following the "inurl:"
+operator. To find multiple words in a result URL, use the "inurl:" operator for
+each word.
+
+Note: Putting "inurl:" in front of every word in your query is equivalent to
+putting "allinurl:" at the front of your query.
+
+Link anchor search.
+-------------------
+
+Searches for text in a page's link anchors. A link anchor is the descriptive
+text of a link::
+
+ inanchor:"WORD1 WORD2"
+
+Text Only Search.
+-----------------
+
+Starting a query with the term "allintext:" restricts the results to those with
+all of the query words in only the body text, ignoring link, URL, and title
+matches::
+
+ intext:WORD
+ allintext: WORD1 WORD2
+
+File Type Filtering.
+--------------------
+
+The query prefix "filetype:" filters the results returned to include only
+documents with the extension specified immediately after. Note there can be no
+space between "filetype:" and the specified extension::
+
+ WORD filetype:doc OR filetype:pdf
+
+File Type Exclusion.
+--------------------
+
+The query prefix "-filetype:" filters the results to exclude documents with the
+extension specified immediately after. Note there can be no space between
+"-filetype:" and the specified extension::
+
+ WORD -filetype:doc -filetype:pdf
+
+Web Document Info.
+------------------
+
+The query prefix "info:" returns a single result for the specified URL if it
+exists in the index::
+
+ info:www.google.com
+
+Note: No other query terms can be specified when using this special query term.
+
+Back Links.
+-----------
+
+The query prefix "link:" lists web pages that have links to the specified web
+page::
+
+ link:www.google.com
+
+Note: there can be no space between "link:" and the web page URL.
+
+Note: No other query terms can be specified when using this special query term.
+
+Related Links.
+--------------
+
+Lists web pages that are similar to the specified web page::
+
+ related:www.google.com
+
+Note: there can be no space between "related:" and the web page URL.
+
+Note: No other query terms can be specified when using this special query term.
+
+Word definition.
+----------------
+
+The query prefix "define:" will provide a definition of the words listed after
+it::
+
+ define:WORD
