Want to be a Google power user? This week’s infographic, shared by Neomam Studios on Imgur and Ebook Friendly, offers a number of handy tips and techniques that can help you improve your everyday searches and work smarter.

To get visually rich Google search results pages, you have to start with relevant search operators, it explains. For example, to find an exact phrase, use quotation marks around your search words. Are you looking for a word that has several meanings? Add a dash before a word to exclude a search term (-search). How about if you want to search within a particular site? Use site: to get results from the domain (site:tech4pub.com).

Google also offers special search features to help you quickly find specific information like stock quotes, conversions, and even sports scores.
