Google Search Tips You May Not Know Exist

Even though we've all used Google for years now, I bet some of you have never heard or seen these Google search tips before. These can definitely help you get more out of using Google on a regular basis. Enjoy!

• Want to check the weather anywhere in the country?
  Type in 'weather' and the zip code right after into the Google search bar.
  

• Having a difficult time finding information on any web site?
  
  Enter your query, followed by "site:www.websitename.com," (i.e. "site:www.excelleweb.com") and click enter. You'll see only results from that website.

• Need to convert units of measurement?
  
  Google can convert units of measurement between the U.S. and metric systems, or between larger and smaller units of measurement. For example, typing "50 miles in kilometers" into the search bar yields the number of kilometers at the top of the results page. Entering "6 oz in pounds" or "2 inches to foot" will tell you the quantity in pounds and feet, respectively.
  

• Using Google Maps (maps.google.com) you can determine different directions depending upon your mode of transportation. Google Maps displays four icons above its "Get Directions" bar. Clicking each one pulls up either driving, public transit, walking, or biking directions. The different routes are plotted on the map and change depending on which form of transportation the user wants to use.

• Are you traveling abroad and need to know currency conversions?
  
  Currency conversion is easy and up-to-date with Google. Just type in the two currencies you wish to convert (i.e. "100 dollars in Canadian dollars.")
