Google Tricks

This took a lot of R&D on my part but it surely was worth it – Here are some working tips / shortcuts for google! I hope you enjoy them all.

Theme Changing

Google Gothic
Visit www.google.com
type google gothic and click “I’m Feeling Lucky”
and you’ll see something like this

Funny thing I find with gothic is it says “I’m feeling depressed” instead of “I’m feeling lucky” =D

Moving on, EWMEW FUDDD!! reminds me of bugs bunny!!

Type ewmew fudd and click I’m feeling lucky! and you’ll see

I’m Feewin Wucky :p

Next is “tlhIngan Hol”

Didn’t understand? type xx-klingon in google and hit I’m feeling lucky! You’ll know what I mean.. For the curious ones, here is what you’ll get!

Moving on to BSD

Type google bsd and hit I’m feeling lucky!! All you’ll see is

Then comes google Linux

google linux, click I’m feeling lucky and you’ll see google with a linux logo

Easter Egg, wooohoo!!

Type google easter egg and gogogo for I’m feeling lucky.. you’ll see a “EGG” ofcourse

and a Bunny Game where you have to collect eggs to make google :p

Time for the Shortcuts and crazy stuff google can do!

- Type in “answer to life, the universe and everything” and click Search!

The first thing you’ll see would be

“answer to life, the universe and everything = 42″

Now to be honest, I have no idea what that means but hey whatever :p

- Type link:URL (To see the backlinks of that url)
- Related:URL = lists other pages that are related to the URL.
- Stocks:goog = Here goog = company name
- Define: word = Provides defination of the word instantly
- Site:domain.com “search term = restricts search results to the given domain.
- WordA +WordB = results much contain both Word A and Word B
- ~Word = looks up the word and its synonyms
- cache:URL = will show the Google cached version of the URL.
- info:URL = will show a page containing links to related searches, backlinks, and pages containing the url. This is the same as typing the url into the search box.
- Movie:movie name – will show the reviews of the movie
- Site: websitename.com – Site Specific

Arithmatic:
- 40+50 hit enter and you’ll see the results. Enter any amount and it will do a good job
- cos(1/2) hit enter and see the results (Btw, I hate maths)
- 25! hit enter for results

Conversions

- 13 celsius in fahrenheit, hit enter and see the results
- 34 in Binary, hit enter and see the results

Constants

Type one by one, press search and see the crazyness!

- Planck’s Constant
- mass of the sun
- mass of the earth

Now comes more usefull things

Images Trick
Goto images.google.com, enter a search query, say Brad Pitt and hit search. It will show you a lof of pictures of Bradd.. Now the trick is to add “&imgtype=face” in the end of the url (Don’t delete the url – only add it) and hit enter. It will show you pictures with Brad’s face only!!

Download Tricks

For Music:

Type inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(wma|mp3) “Sad but true” in google and search. Remember to replace “Sad but true” with any song you want to download and it will take you to the direct link of that song

Same goes for videos and Ebooks! Replace Query with your term for direct download
Videos

inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(mpg|wmv) “query”

Ebooks

-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(pdf|doc) “query″

That’s all for now!! Hope you like it and pass some comments
