I'm trying to search for something on the web, say "cold mountain by charles frazier" (without the quotes) and all the results I'm getting are on books.google.com, and they aren't helpful. So, I want to exclude results from Google Books when I search. Is there some Google-search syntax to search outside a particular domain?
P.S. I know there's the - operator to exclude results containing a particular keyword.
You can search in specific domain with site: and you can exclude specific domain with -site:

There are 2 built in Firebase analytics event type related to search which is kFIREventSearch and kFIREventViewSearchResults.
When a user searches for something (for example "turtles" on Google), doesn't it mean that the user also immediately views the search results? When should I use which? Thanks!
kFIREventSearch revolves around the search terms themselves and kFIREventViewSearchResults is related to the results of the search. Eventually, this will tie into remarketing, if you run remarketing campaigns on the items in the search results.
I need to add a very common Google functionality to an iPhone app I am developing. The idea is that the user is presented with a TextBox where he can write an address (i.e.: "Amsterdam av)". The thing is that I want to add some "help" for him, se when he writes a street name, the app will show him a list of partial matches, like google Maps does here:
sample http://www.timotteo.com.ar/google.png
I can´t find the exact class in the google API. It doesn't need to be as fast as google's own search, maybe the user can write "amst" and press a search button, to be presented with a list of partial matches. The API I'm looking for show return in some way a list with posibilities. All I could find for now where method that gives you the lat/long when you feed it with a specific address. Does somebody know what combination of methods/classes I should use? Maybe some example?
Txs in advance!
Perhaps you are looking for the autocomplete feature of the Places API:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/places#places_autocomplete
This won't autocomplete for all addresses or streets, but rather for businesses, notable landmarks, etc.
If you want autocomplete for street addresses, I do not believe that is available through any documented APIs. That doesn't mean workarounds don't exist, but they may depend on more details about your use case. (For example, if you only care about a narrow geographic area, it may be possible to simply have a list of all the streets in your own database and handle the AJAX call yourself.)
Actully what I was looking for is this:
http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=amsterdam%201543&output=xml&oe=utf8&sensor=true&hl=es&gl=ar
That URL returns and XML with all the autocomplete options. All I have to do is parse that XML and voila! There I have my list.
I am trying to make a Lua program that creates a google search, and formats all of the results in a different arrangement. The only problem is that I cannot find a way to do these:
get the html of the search results
search through all of the pages
search with omitted results on
Have you looked into LuaCurl
I have created the Contact list. I feed proper data where required in my personal sharepoint site. Bu when I look for the specific name or any key word that present in contact list it shows message :
No results matching your search were found.
Check your spelling. Are the words in your query spelled correctly?
Try using synonyms. Maybe what you're looking for uses slightly different words.
Make your search more general. Try more general terms in place of specific ones.
Try your search in a different scope. Different scopes can have different results.
Where is, I am giving proper inputs by following these instructions. What should be problem. Is i nees to make any setting for make my data searchable ?
You must config your search engine at SharePoint Central Administration. Or ask your administrator to config this.
In sharepoint 2007 sites, we can search for people or other contents. Is the search engine able to do fuzzy match so that "Micheal" can be corrected to "Michael"? If it's possible, does it need extra configuration?
I am also writing a custom webpart that uses sharepoint search service, a web service that has url like "http://site/_vti_bin/search.asm". Is it possible to use this service to do fuzzy search as well?
Thanks.
The Search Summary Web Part provides that capability: try searching SharePoint for "Microsfot" and you'll get a "Did you mean Microsoft?" prompt. However, I only seem to see it when I get no results at all, and it looks like it has some other limitations:

I haven't seen that kind of matching used specifically, but you might get some ideas from the wildcard search web part on codeplex.
