Thread: How to preview Googles new search algorithms!

EDIT:
Sorry the original post was false information (Well, partially, Google really is changing is algorithms, they ALWAYS are) the part was that was false (an operator command that was supposed to let you preview the new algorithm), I regretfully passed along before I was able to verify because it seemed pretty cool to me.

So does the ~ operator command actually do?

The tilde (~) operator takes the word immediately following it and searches both for that specific word and for the word’s synonyms. It also searches for the term with alternative endings. The tilde operator works best when applied to general terms and terms with many synonyms. As with the + and – operators, put the ~ (tilde) next to the word, with no spaces between the ~ and its associated word, i.e., [ ~lightweight laptop ] NOT [ ~ lightweight laptop ].

Why did Google use tilde? In math, the “~” symbol means “is similar to.” The tilde tells Google to search for pages that are synonyms or similar to the term that follows.

[ ~inexpensive ] matches “inexpensive,” “cheap,” “affordable,” and “low cost”
[ ~run ] matches “run,” “runner’s,” “running,” as well as “marathon”
Looking for a guide, help, tutorial, or tips on using Google?

[ google ~guide ]
Interested in food facts as well as nutrition and cooking information?

[ ~food ~facts ]
The tilde operator works best when applied to general terms and terms with many synonyms.

[ ~cockroach ]
If you don’t like the synonyms that Google suggests when you use the ~ operator, specify your own synonyms with the OR operator, which I describe next.
