We search a wide variety of stuff on the web. It could range from definitions, images to maps and sometimes, even the most widely used search engine in the world may not be able to answer all our queries.
No wait, or is there a problem with our search skills or knowledge? (You’ll know the answer after browsing through the list)
Today, we got invited to Google Singapore to learn how to search, right under the guidance of Dan Russell.
Google is more than just the search box that we type into. There are several simple techniques or tools that can significantly improve your Google search experience. Don’t be surprised if there is stuff that you don’t know. For instance, using Google as a calculator is something new to me. Catch the list below. Some of them might be common, but definitely worth the mention.
1. Google Goggles
Wonder what’s this picture is about? Snap and Google goggle it on your mobile phone. Google will do a picture identity search for you.
2. 3D Warehouse
You get nothing when you search for ‘3D Taj Maha’ on the search. But you get loads of options when you search it through Google’s 3D Warehouse.
3. Google public data
If you’re looking for data plotted against time, Google’s public data explorer can be of great help. It has a range of useful data from retail sales volume (below) to unemployment rates.
