There are many search options on Google. We have previously written how to perform advanced searches manually on Google other than the standard search.. There are also extensions designed to improve your search on Google.. The following Chrome extensions make Google’s search capabilities more powerful in several ways.
1. Fast Advanced Google Search
Google’s advanced search features make it easy to narrow down your results from a search. Fast Advanced Google Search lets you search with advanced parameters with a single hotkey. Press Alt + G and the extension will open a search bar for you. You can do advanced search without ever leaving your keyboard. You can also save even more time by rearranging the fields near the top of the panel you use the most.

2. Google Search Filter
Everyone prefers sites where they want to see results. The plugin is active when using the Google search engine. With this extension you can highlight the site you want to search and hide other sites. For example, when you want to highlight “sonsuzteknoloji.com”, you can highlight it by prefixing it with “+”. It doesn’t do special filtering in the search results, it just highlights the site to you with green color. If you put “#” at the beginning of the site to hide it, you will not see any search results from that other site.. You can create a list of sites that you are safe and do not know over time.. This can save you a lot of time afterwards.

3. Search by Image (by Google)
Google’s image search is a great tool. Just tell the search engine which image you want to search and it will give you similar results. You can research your own photos. The Search by Image extension makes it easy to access such searches. Right click any image and select Search Google with that image. You will be brought directly to the results page.

Google’s instant preview was a great feature that allowed you to quickly browse through a page before it opened from the search results page. SearchPreview is one of the more popular for its simplicity: you’ll see thumbnails next to entries in search results. It is a plugin that will show you a preview of the site on the left side of the search results on Google.
