Welcome to tinkernut.com video tutorials. In this tutorial, I will show you different Google search hacks. This project is free to do and the reason for this project, mainly is to help increase productivity but it also shows you how you can get more out of your Google searches. For instance, I will show you shortcuts for finding things such as the weathers, stock information and things like that.
The first hack series is going to cover everyday shortcuts. Shortcuts for finding things such as you probably use everyday.
For instances, this first one it is finding weather information, to do this, just type in weather, colon and then the zip code of the area that you want to find the weather information for and then click search. And the search result will bring up the weather information for the next four days for the area that you specify.
The next hack is for finding stock quotes. To do this, just type in stocks, colon and then the ID for the stock that you want to find in formation on. For instance, this is the information for Google.
This next hack is for searching the Google phone directory, to do this, just type in phonebook, colon and then the name of the person or business that you want to find. And this will search the Google phone directories specifically.
The next hack is for finding tracking information. Just type in the tracking number. For in this the FedEx or UPS, for FedEx, just type in FedEx and then the tracking number, for UPS, just type in the tracking number.
This next one is for finding definition of words, type in define, colon and then the name of the word that you want the definition for. For instance, this will bring up the definition for law.
This next hack is for finding movie locations and times. To do this, all you have to do is type in movie, colon, the name of the movie. For instance, this one is for finding three hundred and then the zip code for the area that you want to search and then click search. This will bring up all the locations and start times for the movie in that area.
In this next hack series it is going to cover how you can get calculations fast through Google.
The simple arithmetic all you have to do is type in their equations. For instance, one plus two and then click search or two times three or five divided by three, different things like that. This also works for more advanced equations such as finding the cosine of one-half or any other different type triggered in the metric value. This also works for even more advanced things like factorials, you can type in 25 factorial for instance, it will bring up that value.
Now Google also supports converting in different things. For instance, if you want to find out what 25 degree Celsius is in Fahrenheit, just type in 25 Celsius in Fahrenheit and click search and it will bring up that value. That also works for converting money like pounds to dollars or numbers to binary.
Now, Google also supports constants. For instance, if you want to find out pi, just type in “pi” and search and it will give you the value of pi. This also works for things like Planck’s Constant, just type in the name of the constant and then give you the value after you search for it. It also works for finding out things such as the mass of planets or stars. For instance, if you want to find out the mass of the sun, just type that in and click search and Google will return the mass of the sun in kilograms. You can also use this information in equations such as if you want to find out the mass of the sun plus the mass of the earth, just type that in, search for it and it will bring back the mass of the sun plus the mass of the earth in kilograms.
In this next series, it is going to covered just general search hacks.
First hack that we are going to cover is searching the specific site. To do this, all you have to do is type in site, colon and then the name of the site and then what you are trying to find within that site. For instance, this returns all instances of The Beatles within the site Amazon.com
