Búsqueda avanzada de Google It's one of those super useful tools for finding information that users have almost forgotten.
No me voy a detener a analizar los motivos de esto, y tampoco quiero que ese be el tema central de este artículo.
It seems strange to me that this is so and that it is not used more often.
In this post te enseñaré punto a punto cómo utilizar esta utilidad de Google.
Advanced peer-to-peer Google search
Bueno, lo primero que tenemos que hacer para entrar a la búsqueda avanzada de Google es abrir una ventana de incógnito en su browser.
To do this, take a look at the following image:
We regularly do this to prevent Google from contaminating search results with our browsing data.
We want Google to give us the most relevant results, not based on our profile, but based on what it deems most relevant.
Para esto, abrimos la ventana de navegación privada.
Regardless, you can skip this step if you want, it is not important.
Once this is done, we will enter the Google address in our country. In my case, Google.es.
Once we are there, we click setting and we will choose the advanced search option from the drop-down menu.
As we see in the following images.
Once this is done, you will be in the advanced Google search, as you see below, and we will start working.

We carry out a second search with the following terms:
- Book sales data
- in any of these words we do not include: magazines, newspapers, videos, comics

We include the word "barometers" because it is a definition that gives us very good results and we add the PDF file type filter because we want to get the reports from the Ministry of Culture.
From this dynamics we will obtain much more precise results.
