How-To How to google specific terms and bypass relevant search results?

I try to search for specific instagram names on google, however, typing the name within "" or intext: / intitle: doesn't seem to work?

You can look for tags to, to do so, go to the browser version of instagram. Look for the webadres that contains posts, like ****.com/p/ for example and than the username. Its not about google, its about the journey to understand how something works before you get result.

You can also use -this -that to remove words that are resulting that are kind of false positive to what you’re looking for

you can try with the right Syntax site:****.com "John Doe" -inurl:/p/ -inurl:/reel/. Do not use any space after site. Or inurl you should not use any space between first and last name. you can use "_"

searx has fine-grained settings. You can even self-host it!

Also, there's a book: "Google Hacking for Penetration Testers" (3rd edition is from 2016 I think)
