Question

How do I filter my searches so only reliable websites with top-level domains like .org, .net, .edu, etc. appear?

Community Answer

Add a keyword 'all these words:'. Then, in 'Then narrow your results by...' you will see 'site or domain:' as the fourth option. There, type the reliable website you want information from (like wikipedia.com). After that, press 'Advanced Search' and you'll see results from only the site you typed.

Question

Is it true that Google finds the keywords I type so I don't need to write well-elaborated sentences?

Butterfly

Community Answer

Yes, it's absolutely true. Google uses the keywords you type to show your results. That is why you get the same results when typing well-elaborated sentences and when typing only the keywords. Example: "What is Mother's Day?" and "mother's day" shows the same results. You don't even need to use correct capitalization or use a question mark at the end.

Question

How do I find the date of any URL published?

Digital Brains Tech

Community Answer

At the top or bottom of the page, in the logos, or in the URL in the address bar at the top of your screen, you can, nevertheless, look for a date. Using the mouse to perform a right-click and choose "Properties" can be useful as it often shows the date the page was last updated or modified.
