Most users don't know that they can fine-tune their search in a number of interesting ways, or that they can use Google to find pictures and news articles and compact discs, or that they can use the Google search box to perform mathematical calculations and conversions, or that Google can function as a spell checker or dictionary.
Google contains a massive amount of search power that goes untapped by virtually all Google users and that's a shame because there's far more search firepower to be had than simply typing a keyword into the Google search box and pressing enter.
Beyond the original word-search capability, Google Search provides more than 22 special features, such as: synonyms; weather forecasts; time zones; stock quotes; maps; earthquake data; movie showtimes; airports; home listings; sports scores, and so on.
Following are just a few of the things you can do with Google searches - all of which and more is explained in depth in this book.
Use the ~ operator to search for similar words, or to use quote marks for performing an exact search
Use wildcards to search for missing words in an exact phrase
Search for specific file types
Search only a specific website or domain
Search only in the title of web pages, the URL or to within the text of the page
Search pages that link to a specific webpage
Search in a different language
Search within a specific category using the Google Directory
Use Google to locate bargains
Specifically search blogs and blog posts
Search libraries
Search for scholarly and specialty information
Perform calculations within the search box
