Search engines: Use “Advanced Search” and save your time!

The “advanced search” function of a search engine is never used enough. What a pity! The results obtained by using the features of an advanced search are generally extremely precise and make you save your time in the search process.

Each search engine proposes its own advanced search options.

Blogdimension.com’s advanced search offers the following filtering options:

(it is necessary to key in a keyword or a set of keywords in the “Search term” form then you can select your options)

Filtering options…

They enable to refine your search by type of host (Wordpress, Typepad, Blogger, Movable Type, etc.):

- Hostname: for example, myblog.wordpress.com
- Domain name: wordpress.com
- TLD (Top Level Domain): .com, .net, .fr, .sp, .jp, .cn, .co.uk, etc.

Or according to…

- Blog location: this function is a Blogdimension.com originality! Blog location makes it possible to filter your search according to the country where a source is physically located (the country where the weblog hosting service or Weblog Publishing Systems are actually in operation). This powerful option allows you to search by country. Not to be confused with search “by language” which is a distinct filtering option (you find language selection in every Blogdimension.com’s linguistic version homepage)! You can target your searches on more than 70 countries thanks to the “Blog location” filter.

You can also narrow your search according to:

- Blog title,
- Blog description,
- Post title,
- Post content,
- Post category,
- Post author.

The View options allow to define the number of results to display in the results pages:

- 10 (by default),
- 20,
- 30,
- 50,
- 100,
- Or Show only one result per blog

All these “advanced search” options are really useful. They make it possible to focus your searches on precise sources and find the results more directly!

New features already in progress will enable to narrow even more all your searches in Blogdimension.com.

Thanks for your support!
