   There is so much I don’t know about Google search. Thank you for the tips. I also read a good article on Vagabondish that lists 12 google shortcuts for travelers.

   Thanks for sharing these. Crazy how much stuff you can do with a search engine these days. They might literally become the hub of our information based society.

   Great post. Of course the other good search tool with google is the Backlink checker, by adding link: followed by the domain name.

   For example link:www.swiftmediauk.co.uk will then give you results of all the websites which link to your website.

   A very useful tool for us SEO people.

   I think searching by phrase should be included in the list.

    This is very useful! I never knew Google was capable of doing these things, except for the search and dictionary. Thanks for sharing!

19. j2watches on February 21, 2008 3:36 pm

    Now that is handy – especially number 3, as I’m often having to verify a word before using it when writing.

    In lieu of that, would always keep Word up in the background to using its dictionary feature.

    Already started playing with the location time function! If more than one place has the same name, you will see a list of all known locations/times.

    Thanks, Daniel
