New week, new thread. This one is 50 simple (and some not so simple) Google tips and tricks. 
Search within a site using "site:" followed by the URL of the site (without the http: bits) and then your chosen search term. Results will be limited to hits from that specific site.
Use the - (minus symbol) to exclude terms you don't want clogging up your results page.
Customise your Google search via Quick Settings
Search Google's newspaper archive. Use "site:google.com./newspapers" and then your search term
Google's Fact Check Tools "aim to facilitate the work of fact checkers, journalists and researchers. Google does not endorse or create any of these fact checks." toolbox.google.com/factcheck/expl…
To restrict your search results to a certain file type, like a PDF for example, add"filetype:" and the related file extension to your search string
Search for the origins of words by using "etymology:" followed by the term you are interest in.
Search for cached pages using "cache:" and the URL of the site. Perfect for when sites are unreachable.
Use an asterisk * as a wild card for whole words to tweak your results
