1. Exact Match and Exclusion<\/strong>
By putting a phrase in “quotation marks”, Google will return only results that include the exact phrase inside them; you can exclude results that include a certain keyword by putting a minus in front of it:
“Paul McCartney” -dead<\/em> will return all pages that deal with Sir Paul, without the conspiracy theory stuff.<\/p>

2. Comparing Results Numbers<\/strong>
Google will always give you the amount of results it found for a given search term, right below the search bar; while this should be used with caution, it can still give you a good idea of which term is more common whenever you’re on the fence about two (or more) translations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

3. Site Searching<\/strong>
The site:<\/em> operator can be extremely useful when researching company-specific terminology. If, for instance, we\u2019re looking for the official German translations used by Samsung for its S20 phone. We type in Samsung Galaxy S20 deutsch site:samsung.com<\/em>, which will return the German-language product page for the S20 on the official Samsung website.<\/p>

4. Converting Units \/ Currencies<\/strong>
Google\u2019s conversion function is great whenever you encounter measurement units that you need to convert, and it will even reliably convert a few \u201cexotic\u201d pairings, like lbf to kN.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
