Google is great, we all know this. It searches the web for whatever you enter in the search box and displays hundreds of thousands of results, no matter what you search for. Google search can also do much more than finding web pages. With simple keywords, you can quickly get tons of information.
Did you know that Google was a calculator? Not only it can add, substract, multiply and divide, but it can also deal with formulas, exponentials and percentages. It can also find square roots and do some trigonometry. Here is an example.
It can also convert different units with a simple query. Simply enter “50 kilometers to miles” to get it converted to the old-ass imperial sytem. You might also try converting it to millimeters or even nanometers, just for fun.
If you have a blog or a website, you can find who links to you using a simple search query: “link:nicbou.wordpress.com“. In that case, Google will find all the sites that link to Nicbou.com. This can be used to search for file sharing sites such as Rapidshare and Megaupload for your favorite albino midget porn movie.
Let’s say you want to find an old article on a website that does not have a search button. Simply use the “site:” keyword to search the domain alone. For example, you can find my popular blobfish article by searching “blobfish site:http://nicbou.com“
The last and certainly not the least is Google’s ability to find definition for your words. For example, I typed “define:idiot” in the search box and instantly got the definition in multiple languages with links to online dictionary websites.
There are many more less important operators you can also use to get what you want like the inurl, intitle and filetype tags. Google is such a great tool!
