Add the word
statistics
to any keyword search and then add the following site and filetype tricks. For example:
traffic accidents statistics site:.gov filetype:pdf
Remember, no space between the colons, and don't forget the period before gov or edu
If you want ONLY results from a government site, end your keyword search with site:.gov
If you want ONLY results from an educational site, end your keyword search with site:.edu
(Note: no spaces between colons and be sure to include the period after the colon)
Example: homelessness mental health site:.gov
******
To get ONLY results with pdfs, end your keyword search with filetype:pdf
To get ONLY results with powerpoints, end your keyword search with filetype:ppt
(Note: no spaces between colon, and do NOT include the period for filetype)
Example: homelessness mental health filetype:pdf
******
You also can powerfully COMBINE these limiters and get some really targeted results.
for example : homelessness mental health site:.edu filetype:ppt
this will will give you ppts from education sites
or:
you can search any publicly shared Google Slides presentations by using the search term "site:docs.google.com/presentation/". Docs and Sheets are similar, using "site:docs.google.com" and "site:docs.google.com/spreadsheets/" respectively.
or : homelessness mental health site:.gov filetype:pdf
this will drill deep into government information
