Post Do more with Google.

I know MA has a somewhat similar sticky on this, however most people don't use all it's features, and I'm bored.


Google is much more than just a search engine for phrases. For example, type in,


british pounds in us dollars and up pops the conversion rate. If you want an exact amount, 7 us dollars in australian dollars or whatever.

Or even 5 usd per gallon in aud per litre Note the different spelling of litre as it's Australian litre, and the keyword in.

You can also use it for other equations like 88+136 or 128/5 (/ is division) etc.

It can work out roots as well, 8th root of 504778 for example.

Other commands that work are, 8000 yards in kilometres, 2250 in roman numerals, 250kph in knots, 500 ounces in pounds or even 0.00056896 speed of light in miles per century


And it's also great at definitions, define: geek, or if you want to search only a particular country, enter the search words followed by a space then site:us for US only searches etc.

Today they released Google Pack

Basically Google Earth, Picasa, Adaware, and Firefox bundled with Google Desktop and Google Toolbar.




Oh and they will include Norton too.

Douglas Adams fans will get a kick out of this: go to the Google Calculator and type in exactly:
"what is the answer to life the universe and everything?" (without the quotation marks)
See what you get.
