I put this table together because I got frustrated looking for these operators. All I found were articles filled with too much writing, beating around the bush, which didn’t really display what I wanted concisely. Take the article from the “One Education” website (one of the top results when looking for “Google Search Operators”), for example; it had far too much filler and less of what I actually needed: the operator, the usage, and a short definition.
Now I just have to bookmark a page from my own website and use it 😂
