Google has proven itself to be THE choice for many everyday internet-related activities: web search, mail, mailing lists, maps, document sharing, source code sharing… Some users don’t take the full advantage of those services due to lack of knowledge and information. Let’s fix that with this 10 cool hacks!

GOOGLE HACKS NO.1 : HACK THE SEARCH STRING

Google provides you a possibility to make some advanced search queries.
For example to search for PDFs, type in filetype:PDF.

site:hackingsoftwarez.blogspot.in how to play
google hacks to search phrase

GOOGLE HACKS NO.2 SHARE YOUR SEARCH QUERY

If you want to share your search query, just send the recipient(s) an URL with the following format:
www.google.com/#q=<word1>+<word2>+<word3>+…
For example, if you want to direct your friend to use Google to find out about cheap flights in Europe, just send him or her this link:

GOOGLE HACKS NO.9: MAKE GOOGLE TRANSLATE MORE EFFECTIVE

Google Translate is a very useful and powerful online translation tool, but in many cases far from perfect. Let’s say you have to translate a Chinese text to another language that is not English (e.g. Russian), and you don’t speak Chinese but you do speak Russian and English. To improve the usability of Google Translate, rather than translating from Chinese to Russian directly, translate from Chinese to English and than manually from Russian to English (with help from Google Translate if necessary). This will avoid appearance of many senseless translations.

GOOGLE HACKS NO.10: HAVE SOME FUN WITH GOOGLE TRANSLATE

You can use Google Translate to make some pranks. Wonder how would sound a rusty old car attempting to start in the middle of winter, with the temperature well below freezing? Check thisLINK out :)
