3) Use Google Squared to get results in a grid or spread sheet format : Take a look at Google Squared for more information.
4) Use Any time option to find pages according to time when they were published : Sometimes you search for a term and are more interested in the pages, say that were published in the past 24 hours or past week. So, just use this option. Below are screen shots.
