5 Beautiful Uses of Google Search Box


In this post, I am going to reveal some little known uses of Google search box. These uses can increase your productivity at office and will save your time as well.

What You Know:

Google is a search engine and can find any information for you.  And the results are quite accurate and fast as well. All we need to provide the keyword or text and Google will do the rest.

You May Not Know: 

Google search box is like our brain which can do a variety of things. The search box can be used as a calculator, spellchecker, dictionary and so on.

1. Calculator: The box can used to perform some simple mathematical calculations. For ex.


2. Currency Converter:

The box can be used for currency conversions. For ex: Let’s say we want to convert 50 USD into GBP then we need to use the following syntax.


3. Dictionary Definitions:

You can find the dictionary meaning of a particular word by using the following syntax.


4. Fill in The Blank:

Sometimes you don’t know the exact or complete phrase to be searched. So you can do it by placing an * at the end of the phrase.


5. Spell Checker:

The search box can also be used for checking the spelling of a word. All you need to type the keyword in the box and Google’s built in spell checker will tell you if the spelling is correct or not.

 

These are the few uses of Google search box that I discovered. There are many other uses of search box, I guess.

All you need to explore and discover!

Read Your Favorite Books Online Free!


Now you can read your favorite books  online at Google Books. Though Google search can provide you all the information about any topic/subject but there is always a question mark on its credibility.  A book (even if it's an e-book) provides you the correct and systematic information about any topic/subject.

The experience of reading an Google e-book is very similar to reading a paper book on your table. Even some of the e-book  features are impossible to find when reading a paper book.


Features of an e-book you would love to know:
  • You can increase/decrease the font size
  • You can jump to any topic at the single click
  • You can share the book with your friends by sending a link Eg. http://books.google.co.in/books?id=qeB68zBiYXUC&lpg=PT3&dq=i%20phone&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q=i%20phone&f=true
  • The E-Books are 100% weightless. In fact, an e-book can be taken to your site/blog by just pasting the HTML code and the complete e-book will be on your table. Experience it below:

Next time you need a book, do not rush to nearest bookstore. You can get it on your Notebook absolutely free. 

Happy reading!
