In the 'olden days' there used to be a search engine called Lycos. It allowed you to search within the previous search results. So instead of having to type out a complicated, multi colon-separated regular expression, you started by doing a broad search and then narrowed down results using further simple queries. Of course, it was so brilliant and useful a feature it was soon removed.

Sadly, Google search is fundamentally (and deliberately) flawed. My proof: look under the "Tools' dropdown for the option "Verbatim" which I like to think of as the "What we both know I was ACTUALLY searching for" button. The arrogance of Google is astounding. Not only do they take your search terms and give you THEIR idea of what you meant, but the option to (hit-and-miss) override this is purposely buried in the menus.

Great explanation of searching Google in a more finite way! Now can you please tell me when searching for an item to buy and when you select the shopping tab, and even do as much as to put quotes around the exact name and model number of a product, Google still shows you everything that is not what you want! It’s so frustrating and a great waste of time.

Our houses are smaller and we don't all have garages or "utility rooms". Also, it's cold enough in winter that manufacturers don't warranty machines stored outside in garages. Many people have a separate room for a washing machine. But not all. Also, we typically have side-loaders, which make a racket and shake a lot, meaning we don't want them upstairs if possible. So... Kitchen.

Google how to make video educational rather than snappy. You don't have to animate every element on screen.

A "Beginner's Guide" to Google Search is also needed to explain what punctuation marks are needed and how they are used and interpreted by the system; this guide is not very helpful if you don't already know the basics.

I want to search about something but its older and google do not want to show me exactly what i want to search for. Theres plenty tutorials about a program I search but instead google is giving only info the new version of it that I don't need, let me explain. I search for a game engine called "unreal editor 2.0", its a game engine founded in 1999, and there is other one that is called "unreal engine, that was founded like 2012(don't remember), and sure the newer one is more popular, everybody is using "unreal engine" because its a engine that allows you to make a game from scratch. The older one is just to make addons and mods for a specified game. Because when I write lets say "I want to create a sky in unreal editor 2.0", google doesn't think that I need a tutorial especially for the "editor" he just sees moreover that I typed "in unreal" and is thinking that I want the unreal "engine" instead of the "editor". I want to remove from search any kind of site that has the word "engine" or a specific word. Actually from the title of it, because it could have the word in the content. Is that possible

You can always go to advanced search and refine it there without having to remember any of these syntaxes.
