Google Search Tricks 101

Do you Google? You may have mastered a few basic tricks, like searching for a local restaurant, or looking up the closest Wal*Mart, but most people use only about 3% of the search engine’s available tools. So, here’s a lesson in Google Search Tricks 101, courtesy of the tech website LifeHacker.org:
First, wanna know what time it is in, say, Paris, or Lima, Peru? In the search box, simply type “what time is it” and the name of the city.
Next, wanna know if Uncle Mike’s flight is arriving on time? Just type the name of the airline and the flight number, and you’ll get the departure and estimated arrival times.
Would you like to track a package? In the search box, simply type in the tracking number and press ENTER. Whether it’s a package that was shipped via FedEx, UPS or the Post Office, Google will cough up the tracking information.
Another great Google trick: It converts everything! If you want the number of teaspoons in a cup, the number of seconds in 2 hours, or how many Euros you’ll get for $50, just type it in and bingo, there it is!
Want information on a product? Type ALL of the numbers beneath any barcode – whether it’s on a book, a box of crackers, or a bottle of hairspray - and Google will provide links so you can research the product, or buy it.
To narrow your search results, you can subtract items from the list. For example, if you’re looking for candy that’s not chocolate and not for Easter, type in candy (space) (minus-sign) chocolate (space)(minus-sign) Easter and the search engine will overlook anything that refers to “chocolate” or “Easter.”
Finally, if you’re looking for pictures or drawings, click on “Images” in the upper left corner of the Google search page. Then type the word “people” or “sunsets” or “puppies” in the search box. Iinstead of websites, you’ll get pictures. Now you can fully harness the power of Google!

Advantage has added a few new features to our website!

If you remember, (or if you don’t), we recently announced our new Online Computer Courses. These courses are simply put, a WONDERFUL resource for everyone! Yet, we get the feeling some of you are a bit skeptical about online learning. So, we put our heads together and created a trial course designed to give you a glimpse into how the courses work and how they feel. We want you to take five minutes, sign up for the trial (requires only your name and an email address and there is NOTHING to download), and go through one or two of the VERY short lessons. We think once you see how remarkably easy it is, you will feel much more comfortable calling us and starting a course. REMEMBER: There is nothing quite like being able to learn on your own schedule and from the comfort of your own home. Our courses make that possibility a reality. (Don’t forget, most of our course can be completed in less than four hours!) Just go to our website (www.advantage-inc.com) and click on “Online Course Login” in the blue menu to the left of the page! Or go to http://login.customguide.com/AdvantageComputerServices to get started seeing what all the fuss is about! And one more ADVANTAGE to these courses, now you can pay for them directly from our website using PayPal! Fabulous!
