盡管我們整天都在用谷哥搜索(中國(guó)的小伙伴表示我們只用度娘)，但是谷哥大咖告訴你們，谷哥還可以這么玩！


Here’s an overview of some of the most useful Google search tricks, frombasic tips to new features just recently released。


下面就是谷歌最實(shí)用的一些小竅門，從最基礎(chǔ)的到最新發(fā)布的。

1.Use quotes to search for an exact phrase

用引號(hào)進(jìn)行精確匹配搜索


This one’s a well-known, simple trick: searching a phrase in quotes willyield only pages with the same words in the same order as what’s in the quotes。


這是個(gè)廣為人知的簡(jiǎn)單技巧，加引號(hào)之后，你所搜到的和你所想要的在詞匯和語(yǔ)序上都完全相同。

2.Use an asterisk within quotes to specify unknownor variable words

在引號(hào)間用星號(hào)(*)表示你不知道或不確定的詞


Here’s a lesser known trick: searching a phrase in quotes with an asteriskreplacing a word will search all variations of that phrase. It’s helpful ifyou’re trying to determine a song from its lyrics, but you couldn’t make outthe entire phrase (e.g. “imagine all the * living for today”)， or if you’retrying to find all forms of an expression (e.g. “* is thicker than water”)。

很少有人知道這個(gè)小技巧，在引號(hào)間加星號(hào)(*)可以幫助你找到所有與之相關(guān)的短語(yǔ)。當(dāng)你想通過歌詞搜一首歌，但歌詞卻記不全時(shí)，可以使用這個(gè)方法，例如“你是一個(gè)*小蘋果”。此外，它也適用于搜索某個(gè)意思的所有表達(dá)形式。

3.Use the minus sign to eliminateresults containing certain words

在搜索結(jié)果中用減號(hào)(-)排除某個(gè)詞語(yǔ)


You’ll want to eliminate results with certain words if you’re trying tosearch for a term that’s generating a lot of results that aren’t of interest toyou. Figure out what terms you’re not interested in (e.g. jaguar -car) andre-run the search。

當(dāng)你在搜索某個(gè)術(shù)語(yǔ)時(shí)，你可能想從成堆的答案中去掉某個(gè)你根本不感興趣的詞，這個(gè)時(shí)候你就可以使用這個(gè)技巧了。

4.Search websites for keywords

通過關(guān)鍵詞搜索網(wǎng)站


Think of the “site:” function as a Google search that searches only aparticular website. If you want to see every time TIME.com mentioned Google,use the search “Google site:TIME.com”。

如果你想用谷哥搜索某個(gè)特定的網(wǎng)站，你可以在關(guān)鍵詞前加上Googlesite，例如，你想搜索新浪，你可以搜“Google site:新浪.com”。

5.Search news archives going back to the mid-1880s

搜索19世紀(jì)的舊聞

Google News has an option to search over 100 years’ worth of archived news fromnewspapers around the world。

谷哥新聞?dòng)幸豁?xiàng)服務(wù)，你可以搜索全球超過100年的報(bào)紙舊聞。

6.Compare foods using “vs”

用“vs”比較食物

Can’t decide between a burger or pizza for dinner? Type in “rice vs.quinoa,” for example, and you’ll receive side-by-side comparisons of thenutritional facts。

晚上不知道該甜豆腐腦還是咸豆腐腦？這個(gè)時(shí)候你只要在谷哥上輸入“甜豆腐腦vs咸豆腐腦”，這時(shí)候網(wǎng)頁(yè)上就會(huì)顯示兩者的營(yíng)養(yǎng)價(jià)值。

7.Filter search results for recipes

搜索合心意菜譜


If you search your favorite food, and then click “Search Tools” rightunder the search bar, you’ll be able to filter recipes based on ingredients,cook time and calories。

如果你想搜索你最喜愛的食物，你可以選擇輸入下面的“Search Tools”圖標(biāo)，然后你就可通過輸入你想要食材、烹飪時(shí)間和卡路里來搜到你需要的菜譜。

8.Use “DEFINE:” to learn the meaning ofwords—slang included

用“DEFINE”去搜索詞義，包括俚語(yǔ)哦！


Streamline the dictionary process by using, for example, “DEFINE: mortgage。”For words that appear in the dictionary, you’ll be able to see etymology and agraph of its use over time alongside the definition. Google will even sift theweb to define slang words or acronyms. Try out “DEFINE: bae” or “DEFINE: SMH”。

如果你想要順利搜出某個(gè)詞的詞義，你可以在詞前加上“DEFINE”，例如“DEFINE：mortgage”，然后這個(gè)詞的詞義、詞源和用法都會(huì)顯示出來。谷哥甚至可以搜索俚語(yǔ)和縮寫詞，試試“DEFINE:bae” 或者“DEFINE: SMH”。

9.Tilt your screen bysearching “tilt”

輸入“tilt”使你的屏幕傾斜

This is one of the fun additions built in by Google engineers. Try it outyourself (search without quotes)。

在谷哥上輸入“tilt”這個(gè)單詞，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)一個(gè)非常有意思的現(xiàn)象，快試試吧(不要加引號(hào))。

10.  Play Atari Breakout bysearching it on Google Images

在谷哥圖片上玩Atari Breakout(打磚塊)


The legendary brick breaker game is available for easy access on Google. Justsearch “Atari Breakout” (without quotes) on Google Images and enjoy。

11.  Searchimages using images

通過圖片來搜索圖片


Ever come across a photo that looks strangely familiar? Or if you want toknow where it came from? If you save the image, and then search it on GoogleImages (with the camera button)， you’ll be able to see similar images on theweb。

你是不是有時(shí)會(huì)覺得某個(gè)圖片特別特別熟悉，但是就是想不起來？或者你很想知道它是怎么來的？這時(shí)候，你就可以保存這個(gè)圖片，然后在谷哥地圖上搜索(使用照相功能)，之后你就可以看到所有跟它相似的圖片了。

12.  Pressthe mic icon on Google’s search bar, and say “flip a coin” or “heads or tails”

試試在谷哥上按麥克風(fēng)功能，然后說“拋硬幣”或者“擲銅板”


The feature released last month lets Google flip a coin for you when youdon’t have one on hand。

這是谷哥上個(gè)月剛剛整出來的新功能，當(dāng)你想做選擇但是手中又沒有硬幣時(shí)，你就可以使用這項(xiàng)新功能了(特別適合選擇恐懼癥者)。
