peteville: September 2017

Everything from here on in is preceded by an & sign, as it's tagged on to the end. Here's where (if you have no girlfriend), things get interesting...

as_epq=query+goes+here

Results must include the query, in the word order displayed.

Shows as "query goes here"

as_oq="query+string"+goes+here

Results must include one or more of the words in this string. Basically, it's like a more advanced version of the one above, using an "or" filter. Thus, every result must have the main initial query, and one or more of the sets of terms in these strings.

Shows as "query string" OR goes OR here

as_eq=don't+include+these+words

Results must NOT include any words in this string.

Shows as -don't -include -these -words

num=xx

Controls the number of results shown. Must be a numeric value, and can be anything up to 100. Doesn't work with fractions. I've tried.

as_filetype=extension

Only returns results that end in .extension. Currently supports any input. Try it - make a file with a random extension, get it indexed and do a search. Also shows that as long as it validates to something, Google can and will index it. Something to think about...

Shows as filetype:extension

as_sitesearch=example.com

Limits results to just the site you choose.

Shows as site:example.com

as_qdr=x

Swap out x for the following to limit the search to only files first indexed in:

d - the previous 24 hours
w - the previous seven days
m - the previous month
y - past year
mn - the previous n number of months. So m2 would be the previous two, m3 would be three, and so on. Does work into double digits

as_rights=xxx

Limits the search to files/pages that have certain rights. The options are:

(cc_publicdomain|cc_attribute|cc_sharealike|cc_noncommercial|cc_nonderived) - free to use or share
(cc_publicdomain|cc_attribute|cc_sharealike|cc_nonderived).-(cc_noncommercial) - free to use or share, including commercially
(cc_publicdomain|cc_attribute|cc_sharealike|cc_noncommercial).-(cc_nonderived) - free to use, share, or modify
(cc_publicdomain|cc_attribute|cc_sharealike).-(cc_noncommercial|cc_nonderived) - free to use, share, or modify commercially

If you want to make up your own, put the bits you want in brackets, separated by pipe characters (|), and exclude the bits you don't by putting them in brackets, preceded by .- and again pipe-separated.

allintitle%3Asearch+terms

This is actually appended to the q= parameter, hence a search for fishing with the allintitle term "sea bass" would require the following query:

q=fishing+allintitle%3Asea+bass

Shows as allintitle:search terms

N.B. This also works with allintext to search page body text, allinurl for searching the URL, and allinanchor for finding sites that are linked to with certain anchor text.

nnn..yyyy

Like the allin parameters, this is actually appended to the q= parameter. What this does though is let you search for results between numeric ranges. For example, if you wanted to find documents with numbers between 15 and 100, you'd put in 15..100. Very useful for finding products in a price range, when combined with the site limiter. Works with $, £, and other such things.

Shows as query 15..100

%2Bterm

Again, this is appended to the q= parameter. The %2B is actually the + sign encoded, and will return results featuring only the term used, with no pluralisations, alternate tenses, or synonyms.

Shows as +term

~term

Another one that's appended to the q= parameter. Returns results for the term used and synonyms.

Shows as ~term

define%3Aword

Yet another q= parameter add-on. Returns definitions for the word you put in.

Shows as define:word

term * term two

And another q= parameter add-on. Returns results with listings that contain both words, with other words between them.

n+n2, n-n2, n/n2, n*n2, n^n2 and n% of n2

Google's calculator functions. They are, in order, add, subtract, divide, multiply, raise to the power of, and return x percentage of.

safe=active

Sets safe search to on. To turn it off, change active to images.

as_rq=example.com

Finds sites Google thinks are related to the URL you put in.

Shows as query related:example.com

as_lq=example.com

Finds sites that link to the URL you put in.

Shows as query link:example.com

newwindow=n

Opens clicked listings in a new window. Very useful for opening lots of documents at a time, for competitor research. Set to 1 to activate, and 0 to turn it off.

pws

Controls whether personalised search is on or not. Set to 1 to activate, and 0 to turn it off.

adtest=on

Turns off AdWords database connection, so your browsing won't show up as an impression, and will disable the URLs. Set to on to activate, and off to turn it off.

btnG=Search

Simulates a click on the normal Google results buttpm. Change to btnI to get the I'm Feeling Lucky button result.

ie=

Controls the input encoding settings. This defaults to UTF-8, and is worked out server-side, hence changing it doesn't do anything.

oe=

Controls the output encoding settings. Works in the same way as ie, so you can tinker away, but it won't do anything.

&hl=value

Changes the interface language. I won't list them all here, but you can find them all here.

lr=value

Limits the languages used to return results. Not hugely effective. That said, here's the list of all of them:

lang_ar - Arabic
lang_hy - Armenian
lang_be - Belarusian
lang_bg - Bulgarian
lang_ca - Catalan
lang_hr - Croatian

lang_tr - Turkish
lang_uk - Ukrainian
lang_vi - Vietnamese
lang_zh-CN - Chinese Simplified

out of stock and pre-order

heh

it is a classic "marketing" problem

you sold 10 pints of ice cream - YAY

except that you only had 10 pints on the shelf ... so you sold 100% of your stock - BOO

you could have sold 11 or 20 or 2000, but you have zero information

oh look order online

product is not currently IN STOCK (new or jsut out of stock)

TADA

let them PRE_ORDER, first come, first filled

oh look, you have 12,000 preorders, and can make 2000 a month

TADA

send email

first 2000 get their order in jan<

next 2000 in feb

etc

no waiting, no worrying

and ...

OMFG 12,000 pre orders?????

can we bump production up from 2000 a month to 4000 a month???

instead ... they have ZERO INFORMATION ...

you can not run a business with ZERO INFORMATION 

Dont get me started on shoes and levis being out of stock.

SO WHAT@#$@!#!@#

LET ME PLACE AN ORDER

delivered and charged when you can FILL IT

shoes manufactures are the WORST ...

"we know everything, so lets make 100 pairs of 9s, and 10 pairs of 12s"

12s are always out of stock

"no worry, our next shipment will be 100 pairs of 9s and 10 pairs of 12s"

stress - great list

http://elitedaily.com/wellness/signs-under-more-stress-realize/1589629/

Here are 10 signs you're probably under way more stress than you realize:

1. Your sleep patterns have drastically changed.

Stress affects everyone uniquely.

Some people may want to stay in bed all day long and sleep until they absolutely have to wake up. Others may lose a majority of their quality sleep time due to their stress.

However, this shouldn't describe your normal sleeping pattern. If you have chronic insomnia or find yourself sleeping throughout the day most days, you should talk to your physician.

2. Your health is going downhill.

Jaw pain from clenching or grinding your teeth, catching every sickness that's going around, breaking out in rashes or hives and extreme anxiety or panic are all quite common signs of persistent stress.

Each of these symptoms can have remarkable repercussions to your overall bodily health, which means constant dentist, doctor or dermatologist visits, but never a solution to the underlying catalyst of your stress.

3. Your body is sending you (not so subtle) hints.

Those under continual stress will begin to experience nasty (but not severe) stress-related triggers. Persistent mild headaches, daily neck tension and/or recurrent nausea may start to pop up out of nowhere.

But, these things are actually commonly linked to a direct stressor. If you start to feel physically ill on the drive to work each morning, end up taking aspirin everyday just to make it through or finish the day with cramps in your neck or shoulders, there is a specific reason these things continue to occur.

If not taken care of, these issues can develop into larger health problems that will need medical attention.

4. You've lost interest in your favorite things.

Whether that's hanging out with your partner, going to the gym or watching your favorite show, it just doesn't seem to carry the same luster it once had.

You may now even find yourself criticizing or nitpicking all the aspects of your hobbies or previous areas of enjoyment. Nothing sounds like it will satisfy your need for relaxation or happiness.

So, you feel like you'd rather just not do it at all. This type of side effect, along with the others on this list, are huge red flags of an issue that is likely much larger than stress alone.

5. Your normal standards for appearance and upkeep don't exist.

I don't mean just going without makeup for a day or wearing clothes that are a little bit more comfortable and less fashionable from time to time. This is more about not showering and not taking pride in yourself whatsoever.

Everyone has a different style and routine in which they use every day. Yet, when a large amount of stress enters our lives, even the little things we are used to taking pleasure in can become cumbersome.

6. Your moods only vary from angry to sad.

If you can't seem to recall the last time you laughed or had a pleasant conversation with someone, you might be letting stress get the better of you.

You may often find yourself lashing out at loved ones in your life, when this was never your regular tendency. When you feel like your emotions have a hair triggerand anything could make you cry or scream at a moment's notice, there's probably something majorly weighing you down.

7. Your eating habits have significantly changed.

Eating much more or less than you normally do can be a serious sign of stress.

Some folks deal with stress by changing their diet completely, whether they know it or not. Suddenly, eating fast food for every meal or skipping meals altogether puts an extra layer of stress on the body and the mind.

Without proper nutrition, your body and brain no longer have the willpower to make rational decisions on the daily.

8. You're in a constant state of drowsiness.

Not only is this most likely due to a change in sleep patterns, but it also has to do with the stress put on your brain each day.

Thinking about your stressors all day, every day is very hard on the mind. This leaves little time for relaxation of the brain. As such, you probably feel like there's just not enough time in the day to get everything done or have enough time for yourself.

You should always be able to pick at least a few moments of enjoyment from each day.

9. You're covering your stress with unhealthy activities.

Using smoking, drinking or other substances as a crutch for your stress is, needless to say, an unhealthy practice.

While I am not here to lecture anyone on the right and wrong ways to be healthy, substance abuse can become a crippling addiction before you know it.

No one is exempt from the possibility of addiction. A vast majority of individuals suffering from mental health problems, even if they are temporary, choose to cope with their stress in this way (knowingly or not).

10. You're feeling more alone than ever (but hate the thought of going out)

It can be additionally stressful to try to explain your situation to friends and family. So, it's not uncommon to want to skip that conversation altogether.

Unfortunately, this can become a “no-win scenario” in which you either feel secluded and alone with no one to relate to, or you feel the judgement of others upon you due to your stressful circumstances.

If you're experiencing these types of symptoms, it might be time to seek some help. Especially if you're feeling signs of depression and anxiety, it can escalate quickly.

There's nothing wrong or shameful with simply speaking to a doctor, counselor or psychiatrist. Those who take control of their stress and mental health will ultimately be able to control it, not the other way around.
