Deverill Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 We all know you can Google for "greatest hosting service" Most of us know you can do "greatest +budget hosting -Windows" to refine it. Did you know you can "35 miles in feet"? How about "weather Key West, Fl" Or "define:is" Or "movie:The Highlander" Find these and more at the Google advanced operators cheat sheet.

abinidi Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 (edited) Too true. I knew about all of these. My favorite is the Google calculator. I have a google search box integrated into my Start Menu (Google Deskbar), and whenever I need to run a calculation, I just type in my numbers and hit enter. Very cool. It even does complex math like sine, cosine, etc. And I also like to do: 35 degrees C in F so I can figure out how hot it is in cities that use the celsius system.

TCH-Bruce Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Thanks Jim, I knew some of these but not all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-JimE Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Never knew about the film ratings one. To convert temp say from C -> F is ((C x 9 )/5) +32 Just reverse it for F -> C Still quicker thought to type it into google I suppose!

MikeJ Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 You can also get the "answer to life the universe and everything". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samrc Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 My favorite is phone number lookup. First name Last Name city or state Or reverse lookup. You type in the phone number (with area code) and you get the name/address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevan Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 You can also get the "answer to life the universe and everything". 42 But I knew that before Google... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deverill Posted July 23, 2006 Author Share Posted July 23, 2006 But what's the question? By the way, I just found out that I share the same birthday with Douglas Adams - maybe that's why I love his books so much! Brain the size of a planet...
