Advanced Search Tips

Enhance your search precision with these techniques:

Use Quotation Marks

Enclose exact phrases in quotes to find pages containing that specific wording. For example: "British literature 19th century".

Exclude Terms

Use a minus sign (-) to exclude words. For example: apple -fruit returns results about Apple Inc., rather than the fruit.

Site-Specific Searches

To search within a particular website, prefix your query with site:. For example: privacy policy site:bbc.co.uk.

Price and Currency Filters

Include currency symbols to find products within a price range. For example:

• Laptop under £500
• Smartphone £200-£300

File Type Searches

Find specific document types by using filetype:. For example: site:gov.uk budget filetype:pdf.

Advanced Operators

Combine operators for highly targeted queries:

• “climate change” AND “United Kingdom”
• renewable energy OR solar power
• trends in “London housing” 2024..2025 (to search within a date range)

Translation Guide

Tercumer’s built-in translator enables you to understand content in various languages. Here’s how to make the most of it:

1. Translating a Page

1. After conducting a search, click the “Translate” icon next to any result that appears in a foreign language.
2. Select your desired language from the dropdown menu.
3. The page will reload with translated text snippets; click “View Full Translation” to see the entire page in your chosen language.

2. Choosing Languages

By default, Tercumer attempts to detect the original language automatically. To override detection:

• Click the language dropdown in the translation toolbar.
• Select the source and target languages manually (e.g., “French to English”).

3. Translation Accuracy

Our translation engine strives for clarity and context. However:

• Idioms or cultural references may not translate perfectly.
• For technical or legal documents, cross-reference with official translations when accuracy is critical.

4. Switching Between Translations

If you need to revert to the original text or try a different language:

• Click the “Original” button to restore the page’s native language.
• Choose another language from the translation toolbar to see a new translation.
