Improving Your Google Searches


The Knowledge Graph


Certain search terms (people, places or animals, for
example) will activate the Google Knowledge Graph.
This boxout, shown on the left of the standard search
results, highlights facts, photos and other snippets of
information about your search. Use this section to find
quick information and facts about the subject or to start
exploring related subjects. Knowledge Graph results are
gathered from a variety of sources, including Wikipedia,
World Bank, Freebase and Weather Underground, to
name but a few.


Advanced Search


After searching, while on the results page, notice the
Settings link under the search bar. Clicking this allows
you to select Advanced Search from the dropdown
menu. On the advanced search screen you can refine
your search even further so that the results only show
pages which feature all the words in your search term, or
by country and language. Once you have selected your
advanced search options, scroll to the bottom of the
page and click the blue Advanced Search button.


Step 1
❱ Open the Google search page for your country in your Internet
browser. To perform a standard search, type your search term in
the box and click Google Search.
