8 More Ways to Use Google Search

rajchowdary — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 04:09:00 +0000

We all know that Google owns the search market. But Google’s simple little search box is much more feature rich than just using it to find websites. With that in mind, I decided to put together a “cheat sheet” of additional ways to use Google search.

Giving Credit (And Link Love)

Before I get too far, I want to give a hat tip to MyTechOption for actually spurring me to write this post. They wrote a great post about achieving better search results. It was that post that made me think,
“Hey, I should expand on that and show people a few more tricks you can do with Google magic search box.”

Define a Word

Okay, so I picked the example because the Dakno Web site is one of the sites referenced. Yes, I know, shameless plug.
Example: define:web site

Converter

Have an overseas buyer and need a quick conversion? Let Google help.
Example: 1200 square feet
Example: 549,000 USD to GBP

Google Calculator

Need to quickly figure out a commission split? Why not use Google instead of reaching for your calculator.
Example: 2+2 (while the example is simple, Google can actually do complex algebra!)

Movies

Work isn’t everything, With that in mind, try using Google to help find a flick. Be sure to include your zip code.
Example: movie: iron man 27609

Maps

Yes, we all know about Google Maps. But I bet you actually go to maps.google.com. Instead, simply type the address directly into the main Google Search bar. Google will automatically recognize it as an address and give you the option to add a start point – Instant driving directions.
Example: 1100 Navaho Drive, Raleigh, NC

Check Flights

Is your flight to Inman Connect on time? Simply Google it
Example: delta 967

Weather

While we are talking about going out of town, why not check the weather
Example: weather: 27609

Spell Check

I have to admit it. I am the world’s worst speller. So bad that Microsoft Word sometimes has a hard time figuring out what I was trying to type (it’s true). That’s when I do a quick Google search. It’s always right on the money. And what makes it even more valuable than Microsoft Word, it can check people’s names, company names, and more!
Example: Rajesh Kanuri

Create Hyperlink That Opens In A New Window

rajchowdary — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 00:08:00 +0000

The basic structure of a hyperlink looks like this:

As you can see, we have all we really need to create a link and make it go somewhere. But how would we make it open a new window? Easy. We need to add one more property to the ‘A’ tag to make it do what we want. All we need to add is:

target="_blank"

That’s it! Just like the href property/value pair (href=”some value”), we simply include the target=”_blank” to the ‘A’ tag and we’re done. Here is what the finished product will look like:

 BlogLabs<

Sometimes, editors (not people, the ones we use to write posts with)will provide this functionality as an option for you when you create ahyperlink.  Blogger does not do this, you need toview the HTML source, find the 'A' tag you want to modify and then addthe target="_blank" value pair to the hyperlink definition.
