The bloggers over at lifehackers have compiled a list of twenty search engine helpers. They describe Search Engine Helpers as “the hamburger in the popular (at least in my house) Hamburger Helper pre-packaged dinners. You have to add hamburger in order to make the dinner taste good and come out the way it’s supposed to; if you didn’t, you’d get a weird mishmash of seasoning and crunchy pasta. Search helpers are a search engine’s hamburger – once you add them, the search results casserole smells good, looks tasty, and won’t go bad in the fridge.”
All of the twenty entries have been checked with Google, Msn, Yahoo and AskJeeves. The article states differences when they exist.
Some of the entries deal with “normal searches” and tips for them, like how to use a wildcard search and doing a site search.
A lot deal with specialised commands that narrow the search to specific titles, domains, filetypes aso.
Last but not least the list contains some specific searches for weather information and flight information.
You can check out the whole list here: They also provide a useful Web Search Cheat Sheet that you can print and use for reference.
