My Favourite Google Tricks

13 January, 2008 – 7:00 am

Like most of the internet using population I am a user of Google for my searching needs.Came across some tricks that can make life easier and these are some useful tips that you should use too!! :) If your from America there are soo many different options available but im sure the rest of the world will catch up sooner rather than later .Do you have any other really useful ones??

Google Images

This one that i use almost everyday and makes it easy to find images of almost everything you need!!Google Image search results show you instead of tell you about a word. Don’t know what jicama looks like? Not sure if the person named “Priti” who you’re emailing with is a woman or a man? Spanish rusty and you forgot what “corazon” is? Pop your term into Google Image Search (or type image jicama into the regular search box) to see what your term’s about.

Want to see some really cool ones??

Currency Convertor

Google’s powerful built-in converter calculator can help you out whether you’re cooking dinner, traveling abroad, or building a PC. Find out how many teaspoons are in a quarter cup (quarter cup in teaspoons) or how many seconds there are in a year (seconds in a year) or how many euros there are to five dollars (5 USD in Euro). For the geekier set, bits in kilobytes (155473 bytes in kilobytes) and numbers in hex or binary (19 in binary) are also pretty useful.

World Clock

What time is it in Kuala Lumpur right now? Ask Google. Enter simply “time”to get the local time in big cities around the world, or add the locale at the end of your query, like time USA to get the local time there.

Enter the airline and flight number into the Google search box and get back the arrival and departure times right inside Google’s search results.

Other Awesome Tips

You can also Google tracking numbers for UPS, FedEx, and USPS just by entering the number (e.g. 1Z14662R0340419XXX). This avoids going through the log in and hassle of the individual shipping company site

  6. I use the currency converter all the time.

    Instead of typing the whole thing, you can just type 10 AUD in MYR to convert Aussie Dollars to Malaysian Ringgit.
