Each notification can be edited and deleted as needed.


" " — when using quotation marks, Google Alerts will find results in an exact match. This means that word forms and word order will be respected. You can also quote a single word.

"+" — the operator's action is similar to egypt telegram number database quotation marks. Add a plus before a word without a space, and it will be found in the specified form. Using a plus is useful when you need the service to take into account words that the search robot can ignore (prepositions, conjunctions, particles, numbers).

"-" - use this operator to exclude materials that contain "extra" words along with the desired key or phrase. For example, "peeling -with-your-own-hands".

site — the operator is designed to search for a specific site (one or more), as well as in a specific domain zone.

OR (logical "or", written in capital letters). Using the operator, you can find any of the words separated by it in the query. If you did not use OR, the search will be performed on all the specified words.

* — this operator can be used to replace any missing word in a phrase enclosed in quotation marks. For example, the query "pizza recipe *" will return results containing the phrases "pepperoni pizza recipe" and "margherita pizza recipe".

That's all about working with the system. Next, we'll show you scenarios for using Google Alerts for different purposes.
