Advanced Google Search Tips Biography
Source(google.com)After sharing my Teaching Twitter posts (Part 1 and Part Do), I thought it might help if I shared with you all how I use Google and Twitter together to find the accounts that I want to connect with. Sure, you can use Twitter’s search engine, but with a few commands in Google, it is amazing how fun and easy it is to find things!
Google Shortcuts (Operators)
First, there are a few Google shortcuts that I want to define so you understand the examples below:
- “site:edcabellon.com Student Affairs“: Using this operator tells Google you only want search results for only one website. In this example, the website is mine and I am asking Google to find all the instances where I use “Student Affairs” on my blog.
- “allintitle: Student Affairs“: Using this operator tells Google to search the keywords listed in web page titles. In this example, the keywords referenced are “Student Affairs”.
- “allinanchor: student affairs“: Using this operator tells you how Google ranks a web page according to how many other web pages link to it and have the keyword in the actual link text. The text (words) within a link is called “anchor text” (hence the name.) This shows who has the most backlinks with the keyword phrase in the actual links pointing to their site.
- “allintext:student affairs“: Using this operator tells Google to search the listed keywords in the text of every web page body. In this example, the keywords here are student affairs.
- “inurl:studentaffairs“: Using this operator tells Google to search the listed keywords in a webpage URL only.
- Wildcards * - The asterisk symbol in Google search is called a wildcard. Use it to have Google “fill in the blanks.” You can use multiple wildcards as long as you separate it with a space. Examples include: “The quality of * is not strained,” or “A penny * is a penny earned.” When you include * within a query, it tells Google to try to treat the star as a placeholder for any unknown term(s) and then find the best matches. (awesome!)
So far so good? Knowing this, how would you apply this to searching Twitter? Here are just a few examples:
1. If I wanted to know who listed “Student Affairs” in their Twitter Bio, how could I find it? Simple, you would type into Chrome’s address bar or a Google search bar: intext:”bio * StudentAffairs” site:twitter.com (Imagine typing in your University or College’s name to find students, faculty or staff or an interests areas like Leadership, Residence Life, or Student Involvement / Activities!)
2. If I was planning a Tweetup or any local/regional event that I needed to find other Twitter users in that area, how could I find them? One way would be to type into Chrome’s address bar or a Google search bar: intext:”location * Bridgewater, MA” site:twitter.com” The more specific you are the better and if you remove the wildcard, it just searches for the city listed.
3. I wonder how many people have “Student Affairs” Twitter Lists? Easy answer: Type into Chrome’s address bar or a Google Search Bar: intitle:”List” intext:”StudentAffairs” site:twitter.com Now you have the power to search all types of lists like Ed Tech, Higher Ed, etc.
Finally, outside of Twitter, if you wanted to use Google to find webpages dedicated to Student Affairs and Technology, I could do it one of two ways. First, you could type into Chrome’s address bar or a Google search bar: inurl:”Student Affairs Technology” (with or without a *) or allintext:”Student Affairs Technology” Either way gives me some great content to browse through!
The possibilities are endless! When you can, catch up on more Google related searching tips to help you even further build your online searching skills! Please start utilizing Google and Twitter together to reach out and make connections to those who have already identified themselves in the communities that you are looking for!
