warning: google doesn't want you to use advanced search *hence why chatgpt will not tell you google dorks because apparently advanced search is equivalent to hacking (ask chatgpt to see for yourself). also, sometimes they dont work when searching news stories cause google works overtimes to suppress useful info when its a national story

you can use this on youtube.com, google.com, duckduckgo.com, startpage.com

here are the useful ones i use

before:1-30-2022
after:1-30-2022
filetype:pdf (other important one filetype:log)
"must include this phrase"
-"cannot include this phrase" (note the "-" is whats special here)
site:reddit.com
link:reddit.com (must include a link to reddit within the site)
-link:facebook.com (cannot have links to facebook.com)

the first two were hard for me to find. if you have anymore comment and ill add them to the list.

#sidequestion #letmeknowwhatyourthoughtsare #forumquestionidea

with forums becoming extremely difficult to post things in without getting super downvoted cause you asked a question the mods dont understand or outright removed. could this medium of communication be used as a forum like setting. see we got the comments to answer questions. this will be my first attempt.

what you think? post comments to give input.
