some google search tricks

define: - This google operator will find definitions for a certain term or  word over the Internet. Very useful when you come across a strange word when writing a post. I use this as a google dictionary. example : (define computer)

info: - The google info operator will list the sets of information that    Google has from a specific website (i.e. info:http://"website name")

site: - This google operator can be used to see the number of indexed pages on your site (i.e.site:www.hack2007.50webs.com).Alternative it can also be used to search for information inside a specific  site or class of sites.

link: - This google link operator allows you to find backlinks pointing to your site. Unfortunately the count is not updated frequently and  not all backlinks are shown

allinurl: - Using this Google operator will limit the search to results  that contain the desired keywords on the URL structure.

fileformat: - Useful Google operator for finding specific file formats. Sometimes you know that the information you are looking for is likely to be contained in a WORD document or on a PowerPoint presentation, for instance. (i.e. “fileformat:.doc market research” will search for word documents that contain the terms “market” and “research”)

Google trick to search educational resources (keyword site:.edu) example (computer site:.edu)

Finding the weather of any location (boston weather)

Finding the time of any location (time romania)

Converting currencies (1 USD in INR)(10 US Dollars in Indian Rupee)

Find a Person:

 Check Flight Status

Google automagically pulls flight data from FlightStats.com. All you have to do is enter the flight number.                                                                                                                                                           Type: [flight name and/or number]                                                                                   
  Example: “bc254″ or “newyork21″
