Look for a specific sentence/statement in full:
Solution:enter your sentence between quotation marks " "
Example: "Martin Luther King"
If you just enter: Martin Lauther King (with no quotation marks) you may get any page that contains the word Martin (but may not contain Luther, nor King).
View all images/graphics in a specific website
Solution: Go to www.google.com, click on Images to go to the image search section. In the search box enter the following script: site:thewebsite.com and hit "Search". Google will display all graphics in that website.
Example: To display the graphics and images that amazon.com contains, search for: "site:amazon.com" and you will get tons of book covers that Amazon sells. This is very useful if you are looking for a specific picture in a website, without browsing several pages to find it.
Look for a specific file type
Solution: in google, search for: filetype:ppt islam
This will get you power point files, that are named (or contain in their name the word: Islam)
Example: To look for the article "Dr. Deceiver and Mr. Hide" which is in pdf format, type: filetype:pdf dr-deceiver (the result will be a link to the file that is posted on fustat.com
Using asterisks for wider search
You can use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard. Example: "George * Bush" finds George W. Bush. Example: "To * * * to be" finds "To be or not to be".
