Who knew Google could be so powerful? I was searching around for some data and I came across a very helpful Google page called "Search Features". This page gives examples how to use Google to find information faster and more accurately. Suppose you wanted to know the conversion factor between the euro and the dollar. You don't have to google "conversion euro to dollar" but simply input into the search field; 1 eur to usd This will return the conversion. You can do other neat tricks like; movies 46220 (replace 46220 with you own zipcode), or unit conversions like 1 cm to inches, or as a calculator 5*15+2, or to find current time in any city in the world, time Indianapolis (replace Indianapolis with any city), or to see instant stock quotes MSFT, or to find things on sites that might not have a good internal search method, you can use something like Obama socialist site:cnn.com
I tried some of the same tricks with bing.com, Microsofts search engine and it seems to operate about the same. So, get to it!!! Get out there and get informed.
