Note:
Anything I put in between these lines: | example | is exactly what you type. Quotation marks are key, as it is whether you leave a space between words and punctuation marks.
This works for Google as well as most other popular search engines.
Let's say you want to find articles about vitamin C and lysine as it relates to treating/clearing blockages in the arteries.
So you search: | Vitamin C and Lysine clears arteries |
You are likely to get lots of (useless?) results about vitamin C OR lysine OR clears OR arteries. Or some combination thereof.
Instead search: | "Vitamin C" "Lysine" "clears arteries" |
This will only show results that contain all three items put in quotations.
Whatever you put inside quotations, including spelling errors, will be searched.
So what if you get a bunch of bullshit that DOES have all three of those terms, but it's an article about how it's all "fake" or "unproven" or "fringe" etc...?
There is an antidote…
Search:
| "Vitamin C" "Lysine" "clears arteries" -fake -unproven -fringe |
Leave NO space between - and the word you want to exclude.
Next:
Let's say you want to search a specific website...
Search: | "Vitamin C" "Lysine" "clears arteries" site:greatawakening.win |
You can copy/paste & search the above to illustrate my next point below.
The above example will return NO results. But why?
I wrote an exhaustive article on this exact subject on GAW; why won't we get results?
Because the exact phrase "clears arteries" does not appear once in the 371,000 words I typed.
However, the next example DOES indeed return the post I wrote:
Search: | "Vitamin C" "Lysine" clears "arteries" site:greatawakening.win |
Quotations around clears removed.
This makes any word NOT in quotations optional, but not required to render a result.
The issue above is that it's easy to make your search too exact.
When searching in this advanced way, you will have to play with these parameters including alternate spellings i.e. Lysine vs L-lysine, etc...
You can also search between specific date ranges using the Google search options.
If you're using your phone, in this case iPhone, click the left-most side of the address bar and select "Request Desktop Site."
This will show more search options on Google.
Additionally, going to google(.)com and then clicking "request desktop site" and then go to image search and then clicking the little camera icon in the search bar will allow you to easily reverse-image search.
Most of you probably already knew this, but I hope this proves a useful tool to those that didn't.
Cheers!

Edit: While useful in many search engines, it does not work in Rumble's search. That search is hopelessly fucked, prob on purpose.
But... you can use Google to search Rumble.

"To add:
After your search, put before:2019 with an extra space after your last word."
Probably one of the most helpful post in a long while, thanks JT.
Bookmarked.
Nice job u/JonTitor17 and u/Kunkussion. 👈🏻
Great idea to bookmark and save.
This would be a good post to cross-reference with u/brain-dead post a few months ago.
Alternative search engines & video sites to Google & Youtube
I would add the following contribution, especially as we hit the home stretch on the election, if you want to get great search results, you can immediately improve them by not using Google, DuckDuckGo, Brave or anyone else that relies on the Google search algorithm. Google, along with 99% of Big Tech will throttle searches and only share their narrative.
Personally, I prefer Yandex for my searches. Not because they are Russian, but because if ALL of Big Tech and MSM blames Russia for everything, it is probably because they do not align with their narratives.
To test search results, run the exact same query on Google and Yandex and see for yourself.
Get the body of the post and screen shot it.
Big Thank You! An old timer like me was completely unaware of this.
To add:
After your search, put before:2019 with an extra space after your last word. You can use any year but anything after COVID will be highly gamed. If you know the year of the article you are looking for, put the year after it.
The bastardization of mobile search results started a long time ago, and it's obvious the play on it; mostly marketing, GPT and AI
Thanks u/Kunkussion! I just added that to the OP
Great post,
I’d also add, if you are on a deep search and accidentally close the wrong tab, press CTRL-SHIFT-T and it will open your last closed tab.
Keep pressing it and it will keep opening all the ones you’ve closed.
awesome stuff, thanks anon
I'm in my 50's and I learned these result filters in the early days of search engines. I was amazed that my kids never knew these. I guess it's something not taught.
Same. 👍
Thanks John for the Tippy Top Tips! ⭐✨👏
Excellent info! Thanks
Great Post. Due to time zone differences, I only saw this now, and its 12 hours old, so I doubt my comment will be read much, but... .
I have frequently (read: always) used these techniques when sleuthing down and exposing clickbait and disinfo 'news'.
For example, sometimes someone will post an article or alt-news report that instantly raises (my) red flags, i.e. overly sensationalist, perfect for confirmation bias, pressing all the outrage buttons, etc.
In such cases, I will take a selection of the article, a text string of anywhere between 5 and 15 words, then slap that string in quote marks "random selection from a paragraph or sentence in an article" and then run a search to find out if the article is original, or if it is being published elsewhere, and by who.
In this way, you find that many articles that originate on clickbait / disinfo websites like The People's Voice get reproduced and republished in various places on the web, disguised and the source unclear.
Simple yet effective method one can often use to identify sources of doubtful or questionable material.
I see ya u/FractalizingIron! Imagine all the teachers who catch students plagiarizing with that technique! Hahaha
Thanks for the input!

Been watching for almost a year but had to break my silence with my first GAW post/comment. Thank you for the most pragmatic post that is truly helpful. 👊🏼❤️🇺🇸
noob question, but does this work on all search engines?
Yes it works on Duckduckgo, Brave Search, Yandex and I'm pretty sure it works on many other search engines.
I've done this for many years on these search engines including Google (but I've stopped using Google since 2019 or so).
Many... Try it?
I only know if it working with Google. I would assume any browser with the Google search engine (like Firefox) would.
Thanks JT!
Remember when places like eBay stopped letting you use quotes, (-) and other modifiers to filter out all the bs? Pepe Farms remembers...they FORCE you to look at irrelevant bullshit now
I use quotes and - on ebay, no problem. With Safari, but don’t know if that makes a diff.
Thanks John, great info.
Thank you!
Also break up Google
Speaking of L-lysine. Does brand matter? And Vit C, does brand matteR? Kek
Also, I read in your older post, someone said Liposomal Vitamin C is absorbed better than regular C. True/False?
Ok u/queue-anon I'm finally going to disclose the exact brand & type I buy but just because it's you.
"Solgar Vitamin C 500 mg, 250 Vegetable Capsules"
"Solgar L-Lysine 500 mg, 250 Vegetable Capsules"
I think it's clear to everyone by now that my post is for the people, not a particular brand.
If you want to name the brand & exact type the next time I post it, you have my blessing but I'm not gonna advocate any brand under that OP.
Optics.
I see Nestle bought Solgar. I only say that because I remember supplement forums noticed when Nestle bought Garden of Life multivitamin, they changed the formula.
The first time my father-in-law did the protocol he used the garden of life brand… Then it came out that they found heavy metals in their vitamin C supplements. Turns out it comes from China… At least that's what I read.
The formula for the brand I use now, at least of the ingredients they have disclosed on the bottle, don't seem to have changed.
I will add one thing though...
NEVER take any supplement that has titanium dioxide in the ingredients.
Titanium Dioxide is in our food toothpaste and loads of other stuff. Thank heaven they have to tells us whats in stuff. Read thy labels!
Can you recommend a good brand for VitC, B-12, Magnesium, and some others? I should know better than to just pick a brand and go with it.
Ty fren. I highly doubt you are shill any particular brand based on your posts here.
So Boolean?
Syntax would be referring to "operators", but yeah boolean in essence.
The operators themselves are not called "boolean". They operate on boolean values (true or false) and are part of what's known as boolean logic
True
Thank you. Lately I’ve just been using Yandex when I really want to know something and am amazed at the difference between it and the G word.
Dh and I are almost through our fourth week of the C / Lysine treatment!
Awesome u/EthelBarrett!
Did you take it for any specific reason or just in case? Have you noticed any breathing/energy/blood pressure improvements or anything else?
My next post on this is going to be a compilation of copy paste testimonies of different users
We're 64 & 63 and avoid doctors. All our siblings are on BP meds, so I just thought your post was great information. I shared it with everyone I know! I usually walk two miles every night, but it's been so hot that I slacked off. Normally I'd have to build back up to it, but I walked last night after a few weeks break, and wasn't winded at all. I remarked to my son about it, because I warned him I might not make it all the way. (there are two steep hills)
Can you fill me in on what that treatment is or post a thread? Thanks

Thanks for all of the research you do and for training others.
Great information, thanks. When I was recently looking for information about Ivermectin / horse paste I just came directly here and searched for horse paste. I got lots of good results.
Thank you, saved!
Thanks JT, saved.
Your knowledge of a lot of useful info is astounding, you must have a crystal ball.
Thanks u/artyjulia! No crystal ball (or time machine) but I did get a 99 on the ASVAB in 2009 and more importantly I have a ton of free time to read. One of my favorite things to do.
I enjoyed your post on The Last Trump by HG Wells. Love that kind of stuff!
Thank you again for the kind words.
WWG1WGA!
Great post. Many thanks. And thanks to the mod making this a sticky.
Thanks very helpful.
Thank you. So helpful! This is a great community.
Danke Schoen.
Punctuation matters - I heard this someplace before
Nice tips fren !
Gonna try it right now
Thank you sir!
I haven't used Google search for years now. I was using either DuckDuckGo or Brave Search, but they have just as much manipulation going on, advertising etc.
Instead I'm paying $10/month for a private search engine that doesn't make any money on advertising. The results are much better than what "free" search engines provide. I haven't noticed any censorship either. It has some nice features like changing priority of websites returned in results (including outright blocking them), focusing the search on forums and "small web" sites (called lenses.. you can also create your own), DuckDuckGo style !bang commands etc. I was just going to try it for a month, but have stayed with it for 2 months now. Since search is so central to my internet experience, I don't mind paying a bit for a better experience.
I won't post the name here, as I don't want to be spammy. If you are interested, send me a DM and I'll share the name. You can get a trial membership to test it out for free. Just to be clear, I'm not involved with this company in any way.
Do you like Yandex?
The hyphen + word to omit searches with those words, i.e., ….”-msm” does NOT work, any longer. It USED to, three/four years ago. But not anymore.
