How to "search" in Google products

When we want to search we often use the term "google" because the brand has become synonymous with searching.  But not many know how to use the search function effectively.

As a subtopic of this topic, few of us make effective use of filters in Google mail to manage our email, especially relating to spam.  (Filters settings can be found as a main topic on the Google email settings page.)

https://support.google.com/mail/answer/6593?hl=en&ref_topic=3394914 is the start of the Google help on Google filters, especially related to GMAIL.

On this page there are links on the right hand side to follow.  Of special interest is the one on Advanced Search, which discusses syntax.  (In general, special characters, such as ? or *, are not used.)
