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.

After your search, put before:2019 with an extra space after your last word."
