Hi guys,

Use these Google tips to make your searching fast and effective and
your life easy.

--------------------------------------
Phrase your question in the form of an answer. So instead of typing,
"What is the average rainfall in the Amazon basin?", you might get
better results by typing "The average rainfall in the Amazon basin is."
---------------------------------------
This is an old one, but very important: Put quotes around phrases that
must be searched together. If you put quotes around "electric
curtains," Google won't waste your time finding one set of Web pages
containing the word "electric" and another set containing the word
"curtains."
------------------------------------------
Similarly, put a hyphen right before any word you want screened out. If
you're looking up dolphins, for example, you'll have to wade through a
million Miami Dolphins pages unless you search for "dolphins - Miami."
-------------------------------------------
Google is a global White Pages and Yellow Pages. Search for
"phonebook:home depot norwalk , ct," Google instantly produces the
address and phone number of the Norwalk Home Depot. This works with
names ("phonebook:robert jones las vegas, NV") as well as businesses.
--------------------------------------------
Google is a package tracker. Type a FedEx or UPS package number (just
the digits); when you click Search, Google offers a link to its
tracking information.
----------------------------------------------
Google is a calculator. Type in an equation ("32+2345*3-234=").
---------------------------------------------
Google is a units-of-measurement converter. Type "teaspoons in a
gallon," for example, or "centimeters in a foot."
----------------------------------------------
Google is a stock ticker. Type in AAPL or MSFT, for example, to see a
link to the current Apple or Microsoft stock price, graphs, financial
news and so on.
-----------------------------------------------
Google is an atlas. Type in an area code, like 212, to see a Mapquest
map of the area.
------------------------------------------------
Google is Wal-Mart's computer. Type in a UPC bar code number, such as
"036000250015," to see the description of the product you've just
"scanned in." (Thanks to the Google Blog,http://google.blogspace.com ,
for this tip and the next couple.)
-------------------------------------------------
Google is an aviation buff. Type in a flight number like "United 22"
for a link to a map of that flight's progress in the air. Or type in
the tail number you see on an airplane for the full registration form
for that plane.
--------------------------------------------------
Google is the Department of Motor Vehicles. Type in a VIN (vehicle
identification number, which is etched onto a plate, usually on the
door frame, of every car), like "JH4NA1157MT001832," to find out the
car's year, make and model.
---------------------------------------------------
Visit http://labs.google.com . Here, you'll find links to new,
half-finished Google experiments-like Google Voice, in which you call
(650) 623-6706, speak the words you want to search for and then open
your browser to view the results.
------------------------------------------------------
Disclaimer: It wasn't working when I tried it. (Ditto a lot of these
experiments.)

-Sandy
