Search the web for a specific country, time, or location
The search tools (below the search bar) provide you with filtering options to filter your search results based on various criteria such as country, time, or location. This will help you do better research and easily find news or local content in your location or country. This is a very handy way to filter out invalid search results. For example, I always refine my search by setting a time filter for the past year. This allows me to only get the latest articles for my search term. This is another one of my favorite Google search tricks.

Make a preview of Recent searches
Google search tools allow you to set a custom time range for search results. Using this feature, you can set a minimum duration of one hour. What if you want to check search results for the last half an hour? Here is another Google trick inside a trick.
This trick involves playing with the browser’s address bar to set a custom time, which is not available as an option in search tools. After the results page loads, change the address and add ” &TBS=QDR: XN ” in the address bar and press enter; where “X” can be y (years), m (months), d (days), h (hours), n (minutes), or s (seconds), and “N” is a number. For example, adding ” &TBS=QDR: N30 ” shows results for the last 30 minutes.
Search images by specific size, color, type, time, or copyright
Google offers you a selector/filter to select what you are really looking for if the search terms get more than one type of information. For example, an image search for ” Charles ” brings you Charles Manson, Charles Shirley Jackson’s book, etc., and you can select any category to refine your search.
search tools (below the search bar) give you more refinement options such as size, color, type, time, and usage rights. You can filter images for small or large sizes, grayscale or any full-color images, faces or photos, or clip art types, which appeared at what time, and whether they can be used for free in the next major project.
