Even today how to deep search Google is a little known secret. Better still, Twitter Search now has these features too!

Despite Google’s advanced search builder, there are still more powerful features than most people appreciate, for example the following search combines three elements:

seo|sem “offers * tip”

You can try it straight away here.

What that does is search for people who have used either the phrase seo or sem, the pipe “|” meaning “one OR the other”. It also looks for the words “offers and tip” in that order with any old word between them.

Now, here’s a lesser known secret, Twitter’s new search tool uses these advanced search functions too!

Try it for yourself now:

seo|sem “offers * tip”

(On Twitter you can only use single word phrases either side of the pipe.)

Now play with it and create your own power searches!
