Website www.google.com is worldwide based, hence looking for a local school, etc in the UK, you would find better results from a country-specifc version. So, for the UK you would use www.google.co.uk Let’s have a look at other (not so well known features).- How about mathematics? Go to Google and enter 23.5+17.5% Now we are asking Google to add 17.5% to 23.5 Hit the Enter or Return key and google returns the answer. 23.5 + (17.5%) = 23.67500
- Currency calculations Did you know you can check the current exchange rate directly from Google? Example: Enter 50 pounds in US Hit return or enter to get the current rate.
- Word Definitions Ever come across a word that you’ve never encountered before? Use Google! Type this in: define skull then the click search button. The first source should be your answer!
- Looking for an image? Use Google image search… Enter the description of the image you wish to lookup then press Images, not the Search – you’ll be surprised what you’ll find. Remember to respect copyrights from authors.
- Google Toolbar A very useful toolbar for Internet Explorer and other browsers, with no spyware. You can view Site rankings, Page Info (with Language translation, Spell check online forms, Auto-fill forms, vote for pages and more. Available from http://toolbar.google.com
- NEW! Google Talk Google Talk is similar to other messengers, at present it only allows contact between Google users, it comes with an email notifier.
- Google Earth This is quite impressive, zoom in from space right to your property. Landmarks can be defined, find places and much more. Visit http://earth.google.com to download it for free.
More on Google coming soon!
