Google is by far the most used search engine and the most visited website in the world. Last year people used Google to search about pretty much everything for an astounding two trillion times (2,000,000,000,000). But do you know that you can use Google not only for searching content on the web? In fact you can use Google for doing many things, including converting, calculating, comparing foods, getting important informations and even playing. How can you do that? You just have to type soome easy commands as a search and you are done. 

Askew


f you run a Google search for the word “askew”, you may think you’ve somehow broken your monitor or telepathically adjusted your display settings.

Goglogo


Ever wanted your own personal version of Google, complete with a customised logo? No? Really? I suggest you move on to the next item. Otherwise, you can type “goglogo” into your Google search bar and hit “I’m feeling lucky” (if you’re having trouble with this, change your Google instant preferences or just type the word, then wait for the suggestions and hover over the first option — “I’m feeling lucky” will appear to the right). If you enter your name into Goglogo’s box, you’ll be rewarded with a search page that has been customised with your name.

 You can set Google as a timer

Compare foods’ nutritional facts


 Type “Google gravity” and see what happens

You can even play… Try to search for “Atari Breakout” into Google images and enjoy…


A little easter egg: type “do a barrel roll” and actually watch Google doing a barrel roll



Feeling lazy? Just click the microphone and do a vocal search


Use Google to stay up to date about your favorite tv series…

Type Zerg rush and play defending your search results from Google’s o’s


Heart


Could you plot this equation on a graph: “(sqrt(cos(x))*cos(200x)+sqrt(abs(x))-0.7)*(4-x*x)^0.01, sqrt(9-x^2), -sqrt(9-x^2) from -4.5 to 4.5”? No? Well, Google’s built-in graph function can compute all of that mathematical notation and stick the results firmly on the x and y axis to produce a little blue heart. Lovely.

The Google translate beat box:



f you type a string of garbled words into Google Translate, and ask it to translate them from English to German, then click the ‘listen’ icon, Google will start beat boxing. The text is “pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk bschk pv bschk bschk kkkkkkkkkk”, but slightly different variations work too — and the beat box rhythm changes depending on how you combine the terms.

Google sphere


Another experiment by the same team that brought you Google gravity, Google sphere transforms your Google Image search page into an interactive spinning orb. To access it, search for “google sphere” and click “I’m feeling lucky”. Then click on the search bar, and chase the swirling links around the screen to your heart’s content. The ‘sphere’ will spin around in different directions depending on where your mouse pointer is positioned on the screen.

The loneliest number:






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.
Search websites for keywords.
Think of the “site:” function as a Google search that searches only a particular website. If you want to see every time youtube.com mentioned Google, use the search “Google site:youtube.com”.
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”.
Press the mic icon on Google’s search bar, and say “flip a coin” or “heads or tails.”

The feature released last month lets Google flip a coin for you when you don’t have one on hand.
Press the mic icon on Google’s search bar, and say “give me a love quote”
