Google Search tips

  1. Let's say, for example, that you'd like to search for a PDF of Ernest Hemingway's novel The Sun Also Rises. The proper search phrase would be 'sun also rises filetype:pdf.'
  2. Use the trigger word 'movie:*** brwill ask you for your location if you haven't registered it already with the search engine. Once you provide that information, Google will instantly return a listing of movie theatres where the film is playing, along with showtimes. The triggers 'film' and 'showtimes' work identically, by the way.
  3. Need to find out how many dollars you can get for a certain number of euros? Easy. Just type, for instance, '400 euros in dollars,' and you'll have the answer even before you can finish typing 'dollars,' thanks to Google's Auto Suggestion feature.
  4. find an image of a search phrase, just add the word 'image' at the end of the phrase. For example, typing 'Jefferson image' brings up images of Thomas Jefferson.
  5. And adding 'time' to the end of the name of a city or country will result in Google's telling you what time it is in that place.
