Among certain circles (my family, some of my coworkers, etc.) I'm known for my Googling skills. I can find anything, anywhere, in no time flat. My Google-fu is a helpful skill, but not one that's shrouded in too much mystery — I've just mastered some very helpful search tricks and shortcuts and learned to quickly identify the best info in a list of results.

在某些圈子里(我的家人，我的一些同事等等)，我以我的谷歌搜索技巧而闻名。我在任何地方，任何地方都能找到任何东西。我的Google-fu是一项很有用的技能，但它并没有被太多的神秘所掩盖——我刚刚掌握了一些非常有用的搜索技巧和捷径，并且学会了快速识别出列表中最好的信息。

Sadly, though web searches have become and integral part of the academic research landscape, the art of the Google search is an increasingly lost one. A recent study at Illinois Wesleyan University found that fewer than 25% of students could perform a "reasonably well-executed search." Wrote researchers, "The majority of students — of all levels — exhibited significant difficulties that ranged across nearly every aspect of the search process."

遗憾的是，虽然网络搜索已经成为学术研究领域的重要组成部分，但谷歌搜索的艺术却越来越少。伊利诺伊卫斯理大学(Illinois Wesleyan University)最近的一项研究发现，只有不到25%的学生能够执行“相当好的搜索”。研究人员写道，“大多数学生——所有级别的学生——在搜索过程的几乎所有方面都表现出明显的困难。”

That search process also included determining when to rely on Google and when to utilize scholarly databases, but on a fundamental level, it appears that many people just don't understand how to best find the information they seek using Google.

这个搜索过程还包括决定何时依赖谷歌和何时使用学术数据库，但在基本层面上，许多人似乎不知道如何最好地找到他们使用谷歌所寻求的信息。

Thanks to the folks at HackCollege, a number of my "secrets" are out. The infographic below offers a helpful primer for how to best structure searches using advanced operators to more quickly and accurately drill down to the information you want. This is by no means an exhaustive list of search operators and advanced techniques, but it's a good start that will help set you on the path to becoming a Google master.

多亏了HackCollege的人们，我的一些“秘密”被泄露出去了。下面的信息图表提供了一个有用的入门指南，教你如何使用高级操作人员更快更准确地挖掘出你想要的信息。这绝不是一个完整的搜索操作符列表和高级技术，但它是一个良好的开端，它将帮助您走上成为谷歌大师的道路。
