Here are just a few:
- I love that you can type "track xxxx" with xxxx a UPS / fedex / DHL / USPS tracking number, and get the info right away. And the dictionary definitions are great, plus it does math! Awesome. I love teh Google.
- Go to local.google.com and doing something like: pizza near 123 Some Street, MyCity
- Typing a movie title with your city or zipcode gets you showetimes, and reviews.
- I use it as a dictionary all the time. google search define:word
- If I were teaching a class, I wouldn't overlook the simple, magical quotation marks. You'd be surprised how many people don't know about them.
- The ? wildcard is quite impressive. For example: 1 cup =? ounces
- Google two cities, get airfare links.
- Find lyrics to a song: "Bittersweet Symphony" lyrics
- link:[url of a website you are interested in] tells you what other sites are linking to it.
- Googlism - what google knows about you.
- googlefight - fight between two google searches - Death and taxes! God and Satan! Newsfilter and Funfilter
- blag (purple|monkey|dishwasher) is the equivalent of searching for: blag and one of either purple, monkey or dishwasher
