Search Tip of the Month (November 2011)

Search for PPTs

Many people are interested in finding PowerPoint presentations (PPTs) of others. Especially, when they are preparing a presentation, it would help them to learn how others have made nice PPTs, some useful techniques & tips, and finding some attracting templates, etc. (Of course, I do this!!!)

>So, if you want to search only PowerPoint files, you can still limit your search only for PPT files with Google. Follow these steps:

1. Go to 'Google Advanced Search', and type your search query in the search box.

2. Then select the 'File type' as 'Microsoft Powerpoint (.ppt).

3. Then click on 'Advanced Search'.

Oh, it works!!!

>There is also a shortcut for that. (hope you prefer shortcuts :)

In simple search box of Google, just type as follows:

"searching techniques" filetype:ppt

(You may note here, the file type is 'ppt')

Yes, it also works :)
