10 simple Google Search tricks

by

WebWorkerDaily has the whole list.  Here are a few from the list:

  • Use Google as a spelling aid.  Entering a word into Google is a quick way to see if you have the right spelling. If it’s incorrect, Google will suggest the correct spelling instead.
  • Use Google as a calculator. Google has a built-in calculator — try entering a calculation like 110 * (654/8 + 3).
  • Find out what time it is anywhere in the world.  Just search for “time” and then the name of the city. For example, try: time St. Louis
  • Area code lookup. Need to know where a phone number is located? Google will let you know where it is, and show you a map of the area, too. For example: 314
  • Exclude specific terms with the – operator. You can narrow your searches using this operator. For example, if you’re looking for information about American Idol but don’t want anything about Simon Cowell, you could try: “american idol” -cowell
