Web Tips: Google Search Your Way to ANY Spreadsheet

The ability to do precise Google searches and getting relevant results is a superpower that is easy to acquire but most people don’t have it.

With Google search operators you can do anything from market analysis, prospecting people on LinkedIn, finding investors, retrieving fundraising news, finding emails, etc.

But when it comes to spreadsheets, there’s a simple trick you can use on your Google searches to find all the openly available spreadsheets out there.

This little trick has been invaluable personally towards contacting investors, generating a list of leads, to finding a conference that was perfect for a product.

So simple that the only thing you need to do is write the following syntax in your google search:

• site:docs.google.com/spreadsheets intitle:[anything you want]

As I said, there are a bunch of other cases where you can leverage these simple google searches to boost your productivity when trying to find resources online. Who needs a Valentine’s date when you can crunch some numbers and get some work done instead?

Happy Google searches everyone! 🤓
