Research Like A Pro, Without The Dark Web

There are a number of reasons one might find themselves tempted to use the dark web, but a rational person would just want to access things for free and because of this small temptation they find themselves trapped in this vicious cycle. However, this can be avoided if we use our regular search engines with just a little bit of knowledge and we can save ourselves from falling prey to the dark web.

To access the dark web, hackers usually use the search engine “Tor”, this search engine provides private surfing through the internet and doesn't collect your data like other search engines.

Thus this feature allows the hackers to do all the illegal stuff without revealing their identities. If a normal person goes to the dark web just to get some pirated movies or books or even research papers they can be at risk of getting hacked.

So, how to access all of this free data without going to the dark web? The answer is- Learning research techniques, with which you can research like a pro and you might never have to use the dark web. What are these research tricks? They are quite simple and you can learn it and use it even on Google.

(Site:) - Using Site: will search within a specific website for e.g. site:instagram.com

(Asterisk *) - Use * to fill missing words or phrases for e.g How to * Java

(Hyphen -) - Use - to exclude words or phrases, for e.g. Learn Programming - Java

(Quotation “ ”) - Use “ ” to search for exact phrases or words, for e.g. “Digital Literacy”

(Range …)- Use … to search within a range of numbers, for e.g. Cyber Crime 2010...2021

(Plus +) - Using + will return pages that contain both words, for e.g., Digital+Literacy

(link:) - Use link: to find a page that links to another page, for e.g., link:digilit.com

(related:) - Use related: to sites that are similar to other sites, for e.g., related:digilit.com

These are a few of the research hacks which will buy you some time from about 6 millions of search results that are irrelevant to what you’re looking for.

When you use these tricks you will be amazed to find out how your search results would reduce from 6 millions to just 6 and that would all be relevant to what you have searched.

Likewise, if you want to access free movies or books, search for their “parent directory index” of that movie or book, for e.g. Parent directory Index of Avengers.

By using these hacks you can linger out of the clutches of the dark web and do your work more efficiently. Share these hacks with your friends if you found it useful.
