Google beefs up the search in Google+! After some six years, they are finally adding keywords which let you focus your search, just like you expect from a search company :)

Make sure you expand the Advanced Search link in the support page to see the options, as there are many powerful options to choose from.

In the summary below, note that an id can be the number or character sequence that is unique to a profile, community or collection:

from:

has:

before: 2015/3/14
after: 2014-03-14

commenter:

mention:

in:

community:

collection:

And of course you can use AND, OR and NOT:

from:google AND from:cloud
from:google from:home has:video
has:doc OR has:ppt OR has:spreadsheet
from:116899029375914044550 NOT has:attachment
from:"Google Cloud" -has:attachment

  2. Great irony that Google+ has given so little attention to search, till now.

  3. Now all we need is better mark-up and Google/Plus will really feel like 2008!

  4. What G+ really needs is post drafts and scheduling. Ideally, I'd like it to support long form rich posts like Medium, but - we already have Medium :P
