In the past I had already covered some Google search operators that I use frequently. Most of them are related to finding specific pages or files, though.
Browsing through the web this week I came across another interesting post covering 10 cool Google search tricks. Here is what they included on the list:
- How to search different file formats (keyword filetype:doc)
- How to search educational resources (keyword site:.edu)
- Finding the meaning of words and abbreviations (define:keyword)
- Finding the time of any location (time new york)
- Finding the weather of any location (california weather)
- Tracking commentary of live events (cricket)
- Using Google as a calculator (9 * 10)
- Converting currencies (1 USD in EUR)
- Tracking stocks (stocks:MSFT)
- Finding faces (add imgtype=face to the URL)
Some of these tricks I was familiar with, others I was not. Most are pretty interesting anyway, and they illustrator the breadth of scope that Google is achieving lately.
