When you’re using a search engine to find the closest coffee shop, you’re probably not thinking about the technology behind it all. But later, you might wonder how did that search engine do that?
How did it sort through the entire internet so quickly and choose the result you saw on the page?
Each search engine uses its software program, but they all work similarly.
They all perform three basic tasks. First, they examine the content they learn about and have permission to see; that’s called crawling. Second, they categorize each piece of content; that’s called indexing. And, third, they decide which content is most useful to the searchers; that’s called ranking.
Document search engines are useful for a large volume of the dataset. Because it is hard to get any useful information from that volume of the dataset, it’s necessary to come up with a solution that can help the business needs in the short term as well as the long term.
The primary features for a document search engine
- Searching: Keyword-Based Search, Topic-Based Searching, Semantic Search
2. KeyPhrase Extraction.
3. Text Summarization.
4. Highlight the query result.
5. Document Categorization.
6. Feedback Learning / Query Re-ranking.

Секреты поиска. Как найти нужный документ .
Всем привет, это следующий урок о том, как правильно искать информацию в сети с помощью Google. Есть одна хитрость, которая, впрочем как всегда, никаким секретом не является. Мало кто из нас задумывается, но логически это понимают все – интернет это далеко не только веб-страницы ресурсов. Это видео, фото и аудио файлы, это документы различных форматов и многое другое. Даже не всегда на том или ином ресурсе в силу каких-то обстоятельств (в том числе и по недосмотру владельца файла) мы имеем доступ к нему по прямой ссылке для скачивания. Но в сети они есть и Google их прекрасно видит. Файлы проиндексированы поисковой системой, а значит, они доступны и для нас. Так что найти нужный документ бывает проще, чем каждый из нас думает. Давайте найдём их.
Перед тем, как перейти конкретно к поиску, стоит упомянуть о специальном сервисе Google, о котором, оказывается, мало кто знает. Это страница расширенного поиска:
https://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=ru
Я нарочно оставлю это без комментариев, там всё по-русски. Изучайте и пользуйтесь. Это, скажем, страница продвинутого поиска без знания операторов Google.
У каждого из файлов есть своё расширение, которое определяет тип программы, с помощью которой ему положено открываться. По умолчанию тип сокрыт от глаз пользователя. Но не для Google. Даже не зная названия документа полностью, вы сможете (теоретически) попытаться найти нужный документ, зная, что он имеет вид, например, документа Word из набора Microsoft Office. Вобщем, Google понимает вот такие расширения:
Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF)
Adobe PostScript (PS)
MacWrite (MW)
Microsoft Excel (XLS)
Microsoft PowerPoint (PPT)
Microsoft Word (DOC)
Microsoft Works (WDB, WKS, WPS)
Microsoft Write (WRI)
Rich Text Format (RTF)
Text (ANS, TXT)
И некоторые другие, более специфичные. Если вы собираетесь найти нужный документ , например, обязательно в формате Word с расширением .docx, то можно попробовать задать этот параметр (без точки перед расширением) уже в поисковой строке. Это должно выглядеть так:
Название_документафайлафильмапесни filetype:тип_файла
Например:
Договор купли-продажи кактуса filetype:docx
По аналогии с известным вам исключением ненужной информации из поисковой выдачи, можно, наоборот, исключить из неё ненужные расширения и работать только с определёнными их типами. Используем, тем самым, оператор исключения «-». Например:
Договор купли-продажи кактуса -filetype:docx
Всё. В поисковой выдаче страниц с договором в формате Word не будет. Будут PDF, TXT, но не Word.
Как найти нужный документ на конкретном сайте или домене.
Нередко перед некоторыми пользователями ставится задача найти нужный документ или просто посмотреть некоторую информацию только на ресурсах, имеющих более высокую степень доверия по сравнению с остальными. Например, домены .com, .edu, .org принадлежат правительственным или образовательным учреждениям, которые имеют больший информационный вес. Или нам необходимо узнать информацию или новость из первоисточника. А про обрушение котировок на английской бирже лучше узнать не из израильского сайта, не так ли? Потому лучше было зондировать именно английские источники информации – это доменная зона британцев .uk. Или канадцев — .ca. Или французов – fr. И так далее.
Так вот, чтобы заняться поиском только по конкретной доменной зоне, укажите тип домена в поисковом запросе с помощью оператора “site:”. Например:
site:.edu (не забудьте точку перед названием домена)
И при наборе информации в определённой зоне:
Do it yourself.:ru
Google будет искать результаты только в русскоязычном интернете (рунете).
По аналогии с доменной зоной можно сократить место поиска до конкретного веб-сайта. Например, если нужно прочитать справку о том или ином событий в операционной системе Windows, есть смысл обратиться к первоисточнику. Ищите в пределах только официальной справки от Microsoft на официальном сайте. Для этого используйте тот же самый оператор в таком виде:
Ошибка 000240767 site:www.microsoft.com (точку перед адресом ставить нельзя!)
Все найденные результаты будут касаться только этого сайта.
Успехов
Usually, you can use Ctrl/Command + F
Updated on February 9, 2021
What to Know
- Web page: press Ctrl+F (Windows and Linux) or Command+F (Mac). Enter search term and press Enter.
- Use the Mac Menu Bar to search by selecting Edit > Find in This Page (or Find).
- Type site followed by a colon, a website’s URL, and a search term in a browser address bar.
When you want to find something specific on a web page, you can search for it. This article explains how to search for a word using either the Find Word function found in most major web browsers or a search engine such as Google.
How to Search For a Word Using Command/Ctrl+F
The simplest way to find a word on a page is to use the Find Word function. It is available in the major web browsers, including Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, and Opera.
Here’s the keyboard shortcut method:
-
When you’re on the web page, press Ctrl+F in Windows and Linux. Press Command+F on a Mac.
-
Type the word (or phrase) you want to find.
-
Press Enter.
-
The web page scrolls to the nearest occurrence of the word. If the word occurs more than once on the web page you’re searching, press Enter to go to the next occurrence. Or, select the arrows on the right (or left) side of the Find Word window.
How to Search for a Word With the Mac Menu Bar
Another way to search web pages is to use a relevant menu bar. On a Mac, use the following process, regardless of the browser you use. Use this process when using either Safari or Opera.
How to Search for a Word on Mac
-
Go to the menu bar at the top of the page, then select Edit.
-
Choose Find in This Page. Some browsers may have the option Find.
-
Depending on the browser you use, you may have to take four steps rather than three. For example, with Google Chrome, hover the mouse cursor over Find, then select Find.
How to Search For a Word Using the Browser Controls
If you use a Windows PC or Linux, or if you want to use the web browser rather than the operating system, here’s what you do for each major browser (excluding Safari and Opera).
These instructions should work for the corresponding mobile browsers as well.
For Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge:
-
Select the More icon (it’s located in the upper-right corner of the browser window).
-
Choose Find or Find in This Page.
-
Type your search term and press Enter.
How to Search for a Word Using Google
If you don’t know the specific page on which a desired word or phrase could be located, use Google to search for a certain word or phrase, and target the site you want to find it in. Google has special characters and features to narrow and control your search.
-
Go to Google or use the browser’s search function if it’s configured to use Google as its search engine.
-
Type site followed by a colon ( : ) and the name of the website you want to search. It should look like this:
site:lifewire.com
-
After that, leave a space and enter the search terms. Altogether, it should be something like this:
site:lifewire.com Android apps
-
Press Enter to display the search results.
-
The search results come from the website that you entered.
-
To narrow your search results further, enclose the search terms in quotation marks, which makes the search engine look for that exact phrase.

Are you having a hard time locating a key topic of interest in one or more of your documents? Is the browser’s search function not working as well as you hoped? If this is the case, then you need to learn how to search for a word in Google Docs.
Don’t worry if you’re not an expert. Many users have issues with this feature. It’s not as advanced as that of other text editors such as MS Word, yet it’s easy to access and master for better content scanning or faster editing.
You can access the Word Search in Google Docs by using one or two simple keyboard shortcuts. As opposed to a browser search function, the app’s built-in word finder searches the entire document, not just words or phrases on visible pages.
This article will take you through a step-by-step guide on how to do a simple search, an advanced search, and how to use the replace and edit function.

What is Word Search in Google Docs?
Word Search is a useful tool in text editors, also available in the cloud-based Google Docs app. It allows you to find words and phrases in an entire file and jump to each one of them. From the same tool, you can also edit or replace words throughout the document if you want to use a synonym instead.
The Word Search tool is configurable and can be used to match cases so that not all words get highlighted. You can also choose to ignore diacritics or match with regular expressions for an even more specific search.
Even more useful is our 1-click feature from Google Docs to WordPress.
Why Use Word Search in Google Docs?
Sometimes, when you write, you may have very specific guidelines. The rules may include avoiding the overuse of certain words or phrases, especially when using a focus word or keywords. By using the Word Search feature, you can check your writing papers and see if you need to tone down the use of some words.
It also serves to speed up the editing process as you can quickly use the tool to replace some of the overused words with synonyms, or to locate them and delete them (in the case of adverbs and adjectives). It’s also important when scanning a document for information, as you can jump over walls of text to get to the paragraphs of most interest. If you need to search for a word in a printed document, make sure to use OCR software for Windows to convert images into text.
How to Search for a Word in Google Docs
Scanning large documents for the information you need the most can often be difficult to do manually. Scrolling through dozens or hundreds of pages isn’t easy and it’s often time-consuming. Yet with the Word Search tool, you can minimize the effort and find what you need in seconds. This tutorial will show you how to do just that and more, by using the Word Search function.
First, open up a document in Google Docs. Press Ctrl + F to bring up the Word Search tool. Type in a word or phrase and hit enter.
This will highlight all the results in the document and list how many hits the tool found in the document.
For a more detailed search, click the three-dotted icon on the Word Search tool. This will bring up the ‘Find and replace’ menu which contains some additional search options.
By using this function, you can search for lower case or upper-case words and phrases to narrow down your search further. You can also edit words and phrases or replace with new ones.
Replacements can be done one by one or in the entire document.
Unfortunately, unlike other text editors, Google Docs doesn’t allow you to also Bold replacement words and phrases from the ‘Find and replace’ word search function.
By hitting the Previous and Next buttons, you can highlight specific positions of a word or phrase that you want to delete or replace. Otherwise, just hit the ‘Replace all’ button and the app will apply the changes to the entire document. The ‘Find and replace’ function can also be triggered by pressing Ctrl + H.
When using the basic search function, you can hit ‘Enter’ to move to the next search result or click on the arrows to go to the next or previous result. Note that the basic word search function can only be brought up with the standard Windows shortcut Ctrl + F. It’s not found on the toolbar under any menu.
Conclusion
If you’ve been struggling to find words, phrases, keywords, or sentences in your documents, hopefully this guide has made things easier for you. Remember that the Word Search feature can be used to narrow down key topic points or to check your writing and fix any overuse of certain words or keywords.
Google Docs also has an advanced search feature, the ‘Find and replace’ function, which helps you make document-wide replacements instantly, as well as narrow down results further by matching cases, diacritics, and so on.
