Google Tips

The following is a collection of tips to improve your use of Google:

Calculator:
Enter a sum into Doogle and receive the answer. This includes the following:

  • BEMDAS
  • SOCATOAH et al
  • '% of' for percantage and & for modulus (remainder)
  • ln (base e), log (base 10), lg (base 2)
  • combination like 6 choose 3
Unit Conversion:
Rather than find a specific conversion rate and then use a calculator, try 50km in miles or seconds in 5 years

Search/Exclude A Specific Site
Use 'site:mybraincrack.blogspot.com liverpool'.to search this site for articles containing the word 'liverpool', Use a minus sign (e.g '- site:mybraincrack.blogspot.com') to exclude my sites from your search results - the minus can also be used to exclude words from your search query

Local Time/Weather
Simply put 'time' or 'weather' into the search box

Local Cinema Times
Use 'movie:' or 'movie: a movie' to check for a particular film

Find Lyrics (using "" and +)
"" lets you search for a phrase; + before a word or phrase means that word or phrase must be found. This is a bit of overkill but search for '+lyrics "a line from a song"' can be used to find the lyrics for a particular song

Find a particular file format
use 'filetype:', for example 'filetype: pdf' for pdf files
