Dataharvest 2026 - the European Investigative Journalism Conference

Google search is all the same since 1996? No, Google does change over time, but so slow that most people will not notice. The session will give you an update about recent changes (i.e. in the last 4-5 years), will point at workarounds where necessary and will show you what is really new and useful. Towards the end of the session it will give you some advanced Google dorks for immediate journalistic use, but also inspire you to build your own dorks and how to combine LLMs and Google searches.

To follow along, the participants should have used google operators before. After attending the session, you will have an up to date knowledge of Googles web search and other tools for journalistic use.

A Google account can be useful, but is not a must-have.
