As some of you probably besides "googling" Google also can also be used for some other things. I'll show you some of them, I call them tricks, but some of them are more like Easter eggs. I hope you'll enjoy them... Example is what you have to type in the google search engine and the Google result is as the name says; result.
Google calculator:
Google can be used as a calculator, it provides many functions, but it still isn't scientific calculator so use it only for simple calculations.
Example: ((7*49)^2)+2^2
Google result: 117 653
Google currency converter:
You can also use Google as a currency converter.
Example: 100 cad to usd
Google result: 100 Canadian dollars = 80.4441 U.S. dollars
Google "dictionary":
Well, it isn't the dictionary in the full meaning of the word. It just finds out meanings of the given word on different sites.
Example: define: money or what is money
Google result: ...(many of them)...
Google face search:
As you all probably know Google can search images, but it can also help you find the faces you are searching for. Something like simple face tagging.
Example: Bill Gates
Google result: Bill Gates photos, but still not only his faces, but if you add &imgtype=face to the end of the Google url given for the result and press enter it will show you just faces.
There are many other tricks, but this one are the least known... Now, I'll show you some Easter eggs.
Type "google klingon" in the search box and then click "I'm feeling lucky" button.
Type "google leet" in the search box and then click "I'm feeling lucky" button.
Type "google elmer fudd" in the search box and then click "I'm feeling lucky" button.
Thanks for reading and happy mylotting! I hope you'll use some of these tricks!
