Google operators:

Google operators are classified into two basic categories:
1. Basic Google Operators like and, or, not etc.
2. Advanced google operators like inurl, intitle etc.
I am also including bonus search queries that are extremely useful for hackers.

Basic Google Operators for Google search

1) And (+) :- This operator is used to include multiple terms in a query which is to be searched in google.

example:- if we type “hacker+yahoo+science” in google search box and click search, it will reveal the results something which are related to all the three words simultaneously i.e. hacker, yahoo and science.

2 ) OR (|) :- The OR operator, represented by symbol( | ) or simply the word OR in uppercase letters, instructs google to locate either one term or another term in a query.

3) NOT :- It is opposite of AND operator, a NOT operator excludes a word from search.
example:- If we want to search websites containing the terms google and hacking but not security then we enter the query like “google+hacking” NOT “security”.
