Google always wanted to make their users comfortable by providing best technology available. They enhanced their search engine in many different ways in the past to provide user the comfort of controlling the search results. The result is “Show Options”. Show options, allows user to control the search results by filtering the results which are no longer required.
How to Use Show Options?
Well, using Show Options is not surely an art. However, if you can use it cleverly, you can make most of the Google’s search results. So, here is how you use it.
First of all, visit Google home page and search for something. In my case I’m searching for Mobile Phones. Once you click on Search Google, you should find a link that says “Show options” just above the Google search results. The following snapshot should give you a better idea.
Clicking on the Show options link should grab a sidebar widget that has multiple links. These links can be used to filter your search results based on your requirement. For example, if you are looking to shop for mobile phones online, you can click on the “Shopping” link to find websites to shop for mobiles.
You can also use this sidebar to search for Images, Videos, Blogs and many more things. Show Options also allows you to search for past 24 hours results, past week results and past year’s results for a specific keyword. You can also set a specific date rank for enhanced control.
These are some of the options available in the sidebar. You can play with the settings to find more interesting features.
