Amazing Google Tricks That Will Change The Way You Search

AMAZING  GOOGLE TRICKS THAT WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU SEARCH



Google Search’s learning curve is an odd one. You use it every day, but still all you know is how to search. But the search engine has plenty of tricks up its sleeve.
Here’s an overview of some of the most useful Google search tricks, from basic tips to new features just recently released.

1:Tilt your Screen by Searching Tilt
This is one of the fun additions built in by Google engineers. Try it out yourself (search without quotes).
2:Search Images Using Images
Ever come across a photo that looks strangely familiar? Or if you want to know where it came from? If you save the image, and then search it on Google Images (with the camera button), you’ll be able to see similar images on the web.
3:Press the Mic Icon on Google's Search Bar, and say "Flip A Coin" or "Heads or Tails"
The feature released recently lets Google flip a coin for you when you don’t have one on hand.
4:Use Quote to search for an Exact Phrase
This one’s a well-known, simple trick: searching a phrase in quotes will yield only pages with the same words in the same order as what’s in the quotes. It’s one of the most vital search tips, especially useful if you’re trying to find results containing a specific a phrase.
5:Use an Asterisk within quotes to specify an unknown or variable word
Here’s a lesser known trick: searching a phrase in quotes with an asterisk replacing a word will search all variations of that phrase. It’s helpful if you’re trying to determine a song from its lyrics, but you couldn’t make out the entire phrase (e.g. “imagine all the * living for today”), or if you’re trying to find all forms of an expression (e.g. “* is thicker than water”).
6:Use the Minus Sign to Eliminate results containing certain words
You’ll want to eliminate results with certain words if you’re trying to search for a term that’s generating a lot of results that aren’t of interest to you. Figure out what terms you’re not interested in (e.g. jaguar -car) and re-run the search.
7:Compare foods using "vs."
Can’t decide between a burger or pizza for dinner? Type in “burger vs. pizza” for example, and you’ll receive side-by-side comparisons of the nutritional facts.
8:Filter Search results for Recipies
If you search your favorite food, and then click “Search Tools” right under the search bar, you’ll be able to filter recipes based on ingredients, cook time and calories. It’s the perfect tool if you have certain dietary restrictions.
9:Use "DEFINE:" to learn the meaning of words-slang included
Streamline the dictionary process by using, for example, “DEFINE: mortgage.” For words that appear in the dictionary, you’ll be able to see etymology and a graph of its use over time alongside the definition. Google will even sift the web to define slang words or acronyms. Try out “DEFINE: bae” or “DEFINE: SMH”.
10:Play ATARI BREAKOUT by searching it on Google images
The legendary brick breaker game is available for easy access on Google. Just search “Atari Breakout” (without quotes) on Google Images and enjoy.
