Just try these tips:

1. Use Of '+' sign:

This ensures that the results returned to you will definitely consist of the word following the '+' sign. For Ex :
Search: reviews of +phone and tablet
This will show results containing the word reviews or tablet but the results will definatly consist of phoneComputer Tutorials

2. Use Of '-' sign:

Using '-' sign before any word will ensure that the particular word will not be included in the results!

3. Use Of '~' sign:

Using '~' before any word will return the results also containing the synonyms of the word!

4. Search a particular site:

To search a particular website you can use the following syntax in the google search:

6. Find Pages similar to a page:

To find a page similar i.e. consisting of same type of content, use the following syntax:

7. Search for exact phrase :

To search a set of words exactly together i.e.

8. Using the wild card '*' :

The * sign can be used in places where the whole word is not known.
