Always know the right time:
Should your computerclock ever fail, or you doubt that it is correct, Google is there to help you! Just type “What time is it”, and you get the current local time of wherever you are!
Example: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=what+time+is+it&btnG=Google+Search
Always know the right words and their meaning:
Did you know you can also use Google as an online dictionary? When you type “define:word”, then the search engine will show you results and definitions from different websites for this word.
Example: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=define%3A+cowbell&btnG=Search&meta=
Always know the exact outcome of a calculation:
Use Google as a calculator
10 dollars in euro
seconds in a year
19 in binary
Example: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=10+dollars+in+euro&btnG=Search
Always find alternatives for well known software:
Tired of Windows Media Player? Try some alternatives. Type “Better than Windows Media Player”, and you will get a list of nice alternatives.
Example: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=better+than+Windows+Media+Player&btnG=Search
Always find back blocked or deleted websites:
If a website is not available for some reason, Google will make sure you can still look at the latest version of that site.
Example: cache:https://beheydt.be
Always find what you need, even when you use the wrong word:
Are you looking for great food? Then try searching for different keywords at the same time, by using a tiled (~).
Example: ~food
Google now will not only search for food, but also for eat, eating, meal, dinner, lunch, …
Example: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%7Efood&btnG=Search
Are you looking for pictures of Paris Hilton, but don’t want to see hundreds of ppictures of the hotel in the French capital? Then refine your search and use “Paris Hilton imgtype=face”.
I have not tested yet if it also works with other bodyparts, but if you tested it, please let me know the result 😉
Example: http://images.google.com/images?um=1&hl=en&q=Paris+Hilton+%26imgtype%3Dface&btnG=Search+Images
