Think You Know Everything There is To Know About Google Search?

I can google with the best of them… at least that’s what I thought before I saw this interview by Patrick Norton of Google’s Matt Cutts.

I knew how to:

• do a phrase match – use quotes
• exclude specific words – use minus
• do spell checking
• get around spell check – use plus
• do currency conversion – convert 20 dollars to yen
• limit the search to a single site – paris site:amateurtraveler.com

I did not know how to:

• use a fill in the blank type search – mt everest is * feet high
• search only in the .gov domain – site:gov
• do a search for a number in a range between two numbers – 12..30
• get flight numbers
• get the time in zurich
• look up words in a dictionary – define:
• look for specific file types – filetype:
• look up local movies – movies 95129

So if you already have your bachelor’s degree in google search but you want to earn your master’s degree check out this video.
