5 Neat Google tricks
Google’s search engine has many tricks which people never even realised existed! Not only is Google excellent for searching the Web, it also has some neat functionality built in to perform a variety of useful tricks.
1> Can’t find your calculator? no problem. Google can perform calculations easily from the search bar. Simply type the sum directly into the search box such as “10 + 120″ or “16 / 10″. You can also do conversions, so for example try typing “100 metres in feet” or “1kg in grams”
2> Search a specific Website only. If you just want to search one Website for a particular keyword you can use the “site:” command followed by the domain and then a keyword. For example, to search D-A-L.com for the keyword “Spyware” you would type “site:d-a-l.com spyware”
3> Gettting confused with all the acronyms flying around? Use the power of Google to give you word definitions. For example to find the definition(s) for “RAM” type “define: RAM”
4> Need the time? get an instant check on the local time anywhere in the world. For example to find out the local time in London, type “time london”
5> Find related words and documents by using a “~” before your keyword. For example type in “~computer”
