8 tips for better Web searches
Quibbling over the first movie featuring Julia Roberts? A lighthearted conversation that used to last an entire course is now extinguished with a simple Google search. (It's Satisfaction , by the way.)
Search engines have done a whole lot of good, placing the world's knowledge at our fingertips.
But they're even more powerful than you know with many useful features that are left unadvertised and hidden.
For this list, I looked at the Top 3 search engines — Google, Yahoo! and Bing — for more options to find exactly what you're looking for.
1. Easy math. For those without a calculator handy, search engines offer an easy way to do quick math. Just type in your equation — something like 78*3.2/98 — and it'll give you the result (2.55).
Google, Yahoo! and Bing all do this, but Google does it best. It will show you the answer as you type and doesn't return any search results other than the answer you seek.
2. Find the time. Web searchers can type "what time is it in Japan" or any other location into either Google or Bing to find out the local time instantly.
3. Help with conversions. How many cups are in a quart? Or how many pounds in a kilogram? How many U.S. dollars in a euro? Simply typing those questions into Google or Yahoo! will net the result (Bing struggles with the currency question but can answer the other two.) It's a handy tool for recipe conversions or for international travel.
Oh, and the answers are 4, 2.2 and 1.42, respectively.
4. Check that flight. To check the status of a flight, you can enter the flight number and carrier into Google or Bing (but not Yahoo!) for a live update. Search something like "Delta Flight 1567" and it will tell you if the flight is on time and what time it departs and lands. Bing and Google pull from flightstats.com for this information.
Bing also allows you to compare flight prices from different online vendors at bing.com/travel.
5. Search credible sites. On Google, you can tell the search engine to return results from only certain types of Web sites, such as government or education sites, which usually have more trustworthy results.
