and so at the end, i got something in my mailbox from our all-rounder sir Ojasvi sir --- goes like this.
P hrase your question in the form of an answer. So instead of typing, "What is the average rainfall in the Amazon basin?", you might get better results by typing "The average rainfall in the Amazon basin is."
� T his
is an old one, but very important: Put quotes around phrases that must
be searched together. If you put quotes around "electric curtains,"
Google won't waste your time finding one set of Web pages containing
the word "electric" and another set containing the word "curtains."
� Similarly,
put a hyphen right before any word you want screened out. If you're
looking up dolphins, for example, you'll have to wade through a million
Miami Dolphins pages unless you search for "dolphins - Miami ."
� Google
is a global White Pages and Yellow Pages. Search for "phonebook:home
depot norwalk , ct," Google instantly produces the address and phone
number of the Norwalk Home Depot. This works with names
("phonebook:robert jones las vegas , NV") as well as businesses.
� Don't put any space after "phonebook." And in all of the following examples, don't type the quotes I'm showing you here.
� Google
is a package tracker. Type a FedEx or UPS package number (just the
digits); when you click Search, Google offers a link to its tracking
information.
� Google is a calculator. Type in an equation ("32+2345*3-234=").
� Google is a units-of-measurement converter. Type "teaspoons in a gallon," for example, or "centimeters in a foot."
� Google
is a stock ticker. Type in AAPL or MSFT, for example, to see a link to
the current Aple or Microsoft stock price, graphs, financial news and
so on.
� Google is an atlas. Type in an area code, like 212, to see a Mapquest map of the area.
� Google
is Wal-Mart's computer. Type in a UPC bar code number, such as
"036000250015," to see the description of the product you've just
"scanned in." (Thanks to the Google Blog,
http://google.blogspace.com , for this tip and the next couple.)
� G
oogle is an aviation buff. Type in a flight number like "United 22" for
a link to a map of that flight's progress in the air. Or type in the
tail number you see on an airplane for the full registration form for
that plane.
� Google
is the Department of Motor Vehicles. Type in a VIN (vehicle
identification number, which is etched onto a plate, usually on the
door frame, of every car), like "JH4NA1157MT001832," to find out the
car's year, make and model.

Here, you'll find links to new, half-finished Google experiments-like
Google Voice, in which you call (650) 623-6706, speak the words you
want to search for and then open your browser to view the results.
Disclaimer: It wasn't working when I tried it. (Ditto a lot of these
experiments.)
