6. Similar, using "site:.com" will only return results from .com domains.
7. Google News (news.google.com) has its own Boolean parameters.
   For example "intext" pulls terms from the body of a story.
8. If you use the operator "source" in Google News, you can pick specific archives.
   For example: heather mills source:daily_mail
9. Using the "location:" filter enables you to return news from a chosen country.
   For example:  location:uk.
10. Similarly, Google Blogsearch (blogsearch.google.com) has its own syntax. You can search for a blog title.
    For example: eshikshak inblogtitle:googlethestudyofsearchology.blogspot.com
11. The general search engine can get very specific indeed.
    For example:  movie:surat to look for movie reviews.
12. The modifier film: works just as well!
13. Enter showtimes and Google will prompt you for your postcode. Enter it and it'll tell you when and where local films are showing.
14. For a dedicated film search page, go to www.google.co.in/movies
15. If you ticked "Remember this Location" when you searched for show times, the next time you can enter the name of a current film instead.
