Search Tips
Wildcards — By default, a wildcard asterisk character (*
) is automatically appended to each search term. You can add *
at the beginning or in the middle of a term yourself:
Google
would match Google
or Googles
*oogle
would match Google
or Scroogles
G*le
would match Google
or Goooooooooogle
Negation — By prepending a minus character (-
) in front of a search term, you ensure that the search results do not contain that term:
Google Maps -Auto
will search for all instances of Google* Maps*
that don't contain Auto
Literal phrases — By surrounding a term or multiple terms with quotation marks ("
), you ensure that the order and grouping of terms are preserved, and no wildcards are automatically added to the end of each term:
"Google Photos" 8.*
Xfinity "xfi"
Combinations — You can combine the techniques above, such as mixing negation and quotation marks:
*oogle Play Services -"12.12"
