So, here are the 11 pro tips to make you an efficient google.
1. Quotations (" ")
If you want to get results with exact phrases, put the words inside quotes " ". Using quotes " ", google will only show results that have the exact words.
🔎 Example Search: "html 2021"
2. Asterisk ( * )
You can use ***** to fill missing words or phrases. This makes searching easy and will help you get the best results.
🔎 Example Search: how to * in JavaScript
3. Range ( ... )
