Google has several abilities that are not commonly known to its users.Most google users are aware of some of the many tricks for google searching but not all.Previously I have posted some of the many ways to effectively increase your search accuracy.
Other than the ability to search the web,google has certain additional features that I find useful.Here I have taken the time to compile a list of my favorite google shortcuts.
»Get information about a vehicle:
Typing in the Vehicle Identification Number(VIN) in the search box would provide a link to view information about that specific vehicle at carfax.com
»Track Packages from FEDEX,United Parcel Service or United Postal Service:
Typing in the tracking number along with the packaging service in the search field would result in a link directing you to the website specifically tracking the package.Example:search google by typing “fedex 999444666222″ without the quotes in the search box.
»Find a U.S Phone Number or Address:
Typing in the name of a person or buisness along with the state,city, or zip code in the search box would result in a link listing the phone book results. An example of a search would be “Bill gates Washington” without the quotes.
»Find Stock Quote of a company:
Enter one or more NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX, or mutual fund ticker symbols and Google will return the latest stock price (with a 15-minute delay for NASDAQ or a 20-minute delay for AMEX and NYSE), along with an intra-day chart, the daily high and low, the volume traded, the company’s market capitalization, as well as a link to other financial information. An example of a search using a ticker symbol would be “goog” without the quotes.
»Find information about a product using the UPC code:
Typing in the UPC code of a product inside the search field will show a link providing information about the product listed under that upc code.
»Use Google for making calculations:
Google can be used as a calculator.It’s not an advanced calculator but it can do some basic functions such as addition,distance convertions,and evaluating mathamatical expressions.
Basic addition would be something like 20+30+90
Distance convertion would be something like “20mph in kph”(no quotes)
An example of a mathamatical expression would be:(G * mass of earth)/(radius of earth^2)
