On Google’s Search Option tools there are nine new search options to filter search by: a date range, past hour, more shopping sites, less shopping sites, visited pages, not yet visited, books, blogs and news.

These search options are visible right after Google’s preliminary search results or you can simply click on “show options” under the main Google logo.

The 9 search option functions:

Past hour and Specific date range – e. With the availability of real time searches using Twitter, Google has to act fast. Using the date range and time filter will allow you to see recently indexed pages. Need to look for an older page? No problem with the specific date range option.

More shopping sites and Fewer shopping sites: – “Selecting more shopping sites is a great feature if you shopping for a certain item through Google. Perhaps your looking for reviews or product info and do not want sales sites. Set the filter to “fewer shopping sites” and the result will be fewer commercial sites in the SERPs.

Visited pages and Not yet visited – This is probably my favorite new filter. I remember last week I was looking everywhere for a site that I was just at last week. The site was one that I meant to bookmark but forgot. I used this tool to find it. I knew it was a directory/article submission tool but wasn’t showing up in the regular search results for many keywords. I was able to find it right away with this new feature.

Books, Blogs and News – “You can search through just book, blogs and news. If you are looking for a specific headline or perhaps a blog for comment links. You will do well to utilize these filter settings.
