smallbusinesshub.com— A useful list of tips for using Google search for those that are still stuck on the basics. I'll bet even tech geeks will find at least one item on the list that they hadn't used before.

The unit conversion is one of the best features of google, in my opinion. I am an engineering major, and you have no idea how many times I have to convert miles to centimeters, or cubic feet to mL. It's gold. ( feet^3 to ml by the way for anyone who doesn't know this method).One other real great use of google is, when I find a song that I like but do not know the name, I take an exact lyric that I remember and type "lyrics" AND "*insert the lyrics here*" and usually am met with some great results.
I don't think it is appropriate to copy and paste the entire article here - as Zeldafan did. Unless Z is the author - in which case they should state that.Bit surprised that no one else thought that the comment was inappropriate. Perhaps they did not realize it. The original content creators deserve a little appreciation / encouragement. Interestingly, the site which has posted the original article, also leaves out the author's name from the first page. You only see it when you post comments. That is yet another example of screwing others while benefiting personally - a great principle that no tech. innovation will fix.
I like how sometimes Google puts movie release dates at the top. "casino royale dvd release date" - shows dvd release and "casino royale release date" - show theater release. It doesn't work on all movies but usually you can see the dates in result descriptions anyways.
