Google Search Tips
Today, I am going to share something that I love on Google Search. Here's some tips on using it.
1. To search the definition of a word, type "define: (the word that you want to search)" (without the inverted commas and brackets).
2. To find something within a website. Type "(things that you want to search) site: facebook.com" (without the inverted commas and brackets).
3. To maintain a phrase or to make a word compulsory during a search.
4. To convert measurements.
5. To convert currency.
6. Time. Type "time" then the name of city.
7. Weather. Type ""weather" then the name of city.
8. Calculations.
