Expertise ur Google Search - Try these 25 Tips
Google Tip #1:
The "I'm Feeling Lucky™" button takes you directly to the first web page Google returns for your query. You won't see other search results - just this "lucky" one.
Google Tip #2:
Google will finish the sentence for you: instead of asking [who invented the parachute?], enter the query [the parachute was invented by *].
Google Tip #3:
Hit us with a fact-based question or query [population of Japan] by typing it into the Google search box. You'll see the answer at the top of your search results, plus a link to our source so you can find out more.
Google Tip #4:
To see a definition for a word or phrase, simply type the word followed by a colon "define:", then a space, and then the word(s) you want to know in the Google search box [define: quagmire].
Google Tip #5:
To search for something that involves a range of numbers, use two periods (no spaces). Do you need to know what was invented in the late 19th century? Try 'inventions 1850..1899'.
Google Tip #6:
Convert one currency into another. Type the amount and currency you'd like to convert into the Google search box and hit "Enter" or click the Google Search button. For example, 5000 veb in usd.
Google Tip #7:
Solve math problems involving basic arithmetic, more complicated math, units of measure and conversions, and physical constants. Just type the calculation [e^(i pi)+1] you need to figure out in the search box and click on the Google Search button. Complete instructions
Google Tip #8:
Narrow your searches using the Site Search feature. It will limit results to a specific website [admissions site:www.mit.edu].
Google Tip #9:
Use Site Search to narrow searches to a top level domain – choose among (.org, .edu, .mil, .com, and .net). Here's one: [1099 site:gov]. You can use this feature for country domains like .it (Italy) or .sz (Swaziland) too.
Google Tip #10:
Expand local searches beyond business name or type by being more specific [brick oven pizza] or [inexpensive hotel] in the "What" box on Google Local.
Google Tip #11:
Enter the tracking number from the FedEx, UPS or USPS package you just ordered, or sent, in the Google search box to see its progress.
Google Tip #12:
Next time you see a mysterious phone number on your caller ID, enter the area code [909] in the Google search box to see where that call is coming from. (Your choice on whether to answer.)
Google Tip #13:
To find a complete listing for a U.S. business, type the company name into the Google search box, along with the city and state. Or type the business name and zip code, or even the phone number with area code. It works for residential listings too.
Google Tip #14:
Include a city or zip code in your search and Google displays relevant results from that area at the top of your search results [outback steakhouse 53704].
Google Tip #15:
What's playing? Find reviews and showtimes for movies near you by typing "movies" or the name of a current film, into the Google search box along with your location (city and state or zip code) [four brothers atlanta ga].
Google Tip #16:
To see delays and weather conditions at a U.S. airport, type its three letter code plus the word "airport." Like this one for San Francisco: [sfo airport].
Google Tip #17:
Check the status of a U.S. flight by typing the name of the airline followed by the flight number. To see the status for United Airlines flight 134, search for [United 134].
Google Tip #18:
To see weather conditions and a four-day forecast for a U.S. location, type "weather," and specify the area: [weather kansas city ks]. (Usually a city name will be enough, but you may also want to include a state or zipcode.).
Google Tip #19:
To find street maps, enter a U.S. street address, including zip code or city and state [165 University Ave Palo Alto CA], in the Google search box.
Google Tip #20:
Find out what's on (and more important, what's out there in TV-land) by searching on Google Video.
Google Tip #21:
Enter a product [hawaiian shirt] into the Google search box to get relevant info, such as price, and links at the top of your search results, which are linked to merchants who participate in Froogle.
Google Tip #22:
Don't miss an important email. You can create filters and auto-forward certain messages to another account or even to your cell phone.
Google Tip #23:
Use Picasa to send your photos and albums to some of the most popular online photo finishers. Choose the pictures you want (hold down the CTRL key to select more than one) and click the "Order" button at the bottom of the screen.
Google Tip #24:
Unless your digital photo is of a rabbit, get rid of red eye with Picasa. Double-click on your photo to open a large view. Click the "Redeye" button. Click, hold and drag your mouse around each eye, then release it and apply.
Google Tip #25:
Add searchable captions to your digital photos using Picasa. Just double-click on the image to open the large view. Then click on "Make a caption" beneath the photo and type your description or comment.

5 Animated Films You Must Watch or Re-watch
THE SWORD IN THE STONE (1963 DISNEY)
THE IRON GIANT (1997 BRAD BIRD/WARNER BROS.)
KUNG FU PANDA (2008 DREAMWORKS)
THE PRINCE OF EGYPT (1998 DREAMWORKS)
ANASTASIA (1997 DON BLUTH/WARNER BROTHERS)
Have you seen all 5 of these? Lately? If not, that is your homework. As you see, I’ve left out Pixar films for a reason. I feel they are well known and often watched (I must say A Bugs Life is quite underrated so watch that if you haven’t).
THE SWORD IN THE STONE (DISNEY)
A childhood favorite. My brother and I watched this VHS tape a thousand times. It’s whimsical, funny, has great animation, excellent characters and isn’t too heavy for the kids. It was also one of Walt’s last animated features he worked on. Excellent.
THE IRON GIANT (BRAD BIRD/WARNER BROS.)
A Brad Bird masterpiece. (Brad Bird also known for: The Incredibles, Ratatouille, and his work on The Simpsons-- also-- he was trained by Walt Disney’s “Nine Old Men” until the Disney Company fired him in the 80’s for “demanding quality”- LAME). The Iron Giant is a must-see. A serious work of traditional animation art about a kid and the 50-foot robot he finds. Good ol’ Warner Bros. chose not to market this film with the intent of shutting down their feature animation department with the excuse of “see, these things just don’t make money anymore”. Losers. A top-notch flick.
KUNG FU PANDA (DREAMWORKS)
Ok, this one may appear as a surprise. I didn’t think much of this film the first time I watched it but now after several times seeing it, I love it. Great look. Great performances. Fun.
THE PRINCE OF EGYPT (DREAMWORKS)
Another traditional animation masterpiece. Go Dreamworks. What happened to your other traditional animated films?? (Ok, I did like The Road to El Dorado). I was lucky enough to spend the day at Dreamworks Studios in 1998 when this was being made. Until I saw it on the big screen, I had no idea how great it would be. This is my staple Sunday afternoon movie. Religious but in a way you’d never know you’re watching a religious movie. Very entertaining.
ANASTASIA (DON BLUTH/WARNER BROTHERS)
Wow. When it came out, as I was leaving the theater, I said, “this is the best non-Disney animated film I’ve ever seen.” Don Bluth, who also left Disney in the 80’s (tells you something about the company at the time), presents a semi-fictional version of the true story of the murdered Russian royal family and the daughter who is rumored to have survived. Fantastic.
Let me know what you think. And for those of you (if any) who have seen all 5 of these lately, here are a few more must-sees:
ROBIN HOOD (1973 DISNEY)
Cute characters- all animals.
THE EMPORER’S NEW GROOVE (2000 DISNEY)
Very beautiful. Very funny.
AN AMERICAN TAIL (1986 DON BLUTH/UNIVERSAL)
Heart-warming.
THE RESCUERS DOWN UNDER (1990 DISNEY)
Fun.
MICKEY AND THE BEANSTALK (1947 DISNEY- Released as part of FUN AND FANCY FREE)
Classic! And Walt himself did Mickey’s voice.
