12 Useful Google Search Tips
Have a question? Use Google and you’ll find the answer to just about anything. The trick is to be efficient in your search and selective about your sources. Keep this list of 12 effective Google search tips handy so that you can have better and more relevant results.
Searching Exact Phrases
Random search terms lead to random results. Here are tips to create concise search terms:
- Quotes: Find information on an exact phrase or term by putting quotation marks around your phrase in the search box.
- Multiple words: Focus your search with multiple terms or words. You can type in the word “or” to do this. For example, search the phrases “Best ways to write a resume OR How to write a resume” in order to concisely cover all bases.
- Titles: Find sites you need with qualifiers (remember the colon). For example, type “electric cars intitle: new models.” Or, search URLs by swapping out “intitle:” for “inurl:” or “allinurl:” for helpful sites. Search for websites with answers in the text with these qualifiers: “intext:” or “allintext:” You’ll get succinct results.
Searching by Eliminating Words
For a concise search, type in a term, phrase or question with words that you don’t want the search engine to find. Use a minus symbol or a hyphen to sharpen searches. For example, for information about Jaguars, but not the car or football, type in “Jaguars -cars.” Or, do a triple elimination by typing in “Jaguars -cars -sports -football.”
Searching Images
There are two tips to keep on hand for Google image searches:
- Find an image: Use the same search parameters for text and images. Click on the “Images” tab right below the search bar for images relating to your search, or type into the browser bar “https://images.google.com/” to search from there.
- Find information about an image: Google recognizes uploaded images and offers sites with related information. Click the camera icon on the Google search bar for prompts, or drag and drop images into the search bar.
General Searching Tips
If you’re happy with using a basic Google search, there are a couple of tricks to keep your results tight:
- Adding search words: Plug in a simple phrase in the search bar and add as you go. As an example, start with “resumes,” then add “examples of resumes,” and on the third try, type in “examples of chronological resumes.”
- Use critical words: Google matches your query with keywords online. Use important words and words that are used in websites for refined results.
Google Search Commands
There are little-known Google search commands. Here’s a list of four commands to keep within reach:
- PDFs: Search for PDFs by typing your search term plus “filetype:pdf.” For example, if you’re looking for information about how to coupon, simply type in “coupons filetype:pdf” and you’ll find relevant PDFs.
- Weather: There’s no need for an app, simply type “weather” plus your zip code.
- Definitions: For a quick lookup, type “define” plus the word you want to look up.
- Time: To find out the time anywhere in the world, type “time” followed by wherever you want to know the exact time.
Commands reduce your search into one click.

Learn how Assignments works
Assignments is an add-on application for learning management systems (LMSs) to help you distribute, analyze, and grade student work with Google Workspace for Education.
Assignments makes Google Docs and Google Drive compatible with your LMS for file submissions. You can use Assignments to save time distributing and grading student work, and analyze student submissions with originality reports to ensure authenticity.
You use Assignments as a Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) tool integrated within your LMS. It works with any LMS that supports LTI version 1.1 or higher, such as Canvas, Schoology, Blackboard, Moodle, and others.
Adding Assignments to your LMS might require assistance from your LMS administrator. If you have never set up an add-on application or external tool for your LMS before, talk to your IT or LMS admin about setting up Assignments in Canvas, Schoology, or another LMS.

Google Classroom: Creating Assignments and Materials
Lesson 2: creating assignments and materials.
/en/google-classroom/getting-started-with-google-classroom/content/
Creating assignments and materials
Google Classroom gives you the ability to create and assign work for your students, all without having to print anything. Questions , essays , worksheets , and readings can all be distributed online and made easily available to your class. If you haven't created a class already, check out our Getting Started with Google Classroom lesson.
Watch the video below to learn more about creating assignments and materials in Google Classroom.
Creating an assignment
Whenever you want to create new assignments, questions, or material, you'll need to navigate to the Classwork tab.
In this tab, you can create assignments and view all current and past assignments. To create an assignment, click the Create button, then select Assignment . You can also select Question if you'd like to pose a single question to your students, or Material if you simply want to post a reading, visual, or other supplementary material.
This will bring up the Assignment form. Google Classroom offers considerable flexibility and options when creating assignments.
Click the buttons in the interactive below to become familiar with the Assignment form.
This is where you'll type the title of the assignment you're creating.
Instructions
If you'd like to include instructions with your assignment, you can type them here.
Here, you can decide how many points an assignment is worth by typing the number in the form. You can also click the drop-down arrow to select Ungraded if you don't want to grade an assignment.
You can select a due date for an assignment by clicking this arrow and selecting a date from the calendar that appears. Students will have until then to submit their work.
In Google Classroom, you can sort your assignments and materials into topics. This menu allows you to select an existing topic or create a new one to place an assignment under.
Attachments
You can attach files from your computer , files from Google Drive , URLs , and YouTube videos to your assignments.
Google Classroom gives you the option of sending assignments to all students or a select number .
Once you're happy with the assignment you've created, click Assign . The drop-down menu also gives you the option to Schedule an assignment if you'd like it to post it at a later date.
You can attach a rubric to help students know your expectations for the assignment and to give them feedback.
Once you've completed the form and clicked Assign , your students will receive an email notification letting them know about the assignment.
Google Classroom takes all of your assignments and automatically adds them to your Google Calendar. From the Classwork tab, you can click Google Calendar to pull this up and get a better overall view of the timeline for your assignments' due dates.
Using Google Docs with assignments
When creating an assignment, there may often be times when you want to attach a document from Google Docs. These can be helpful when providing lengthy instructions, study guides, and other material.
When attaching these types of files, you'll want to make sure to choose the correct setting for how your students can interact with it . After attaching one to an assignment, you'll find a drop-down menu with three options.
Let's take a look at when you might want to use each of these:
- Students can view file : Use this option if the file is simply something you want your students to view but not make any changes to.
- Students can edit file : This option can be helpful if you're providing a document you want your students to collaborate on or fill out collectively.
- Make a copy for each student : If you're creating a worksheet or document that you want each student to complete individually, this option will create a separate copy of the same document for every student.
Using topics
On the Classwork tab, you can use topics to sort and group your assignments and material. To create a topic, click the Create button, then select Topic .
Topics can be helpful for organizing your content into the various units you teach throughout the year. You could also use it to separate your content by type , splitting it into homework, classwork, readings, and other topic areas.
In our next lesson , we'll explore how to create quizzes and worksheets with Google Forms, further expanding how you can use Google Classroom with your students.
