UPDATED: Google: Useful Tips & Tricks

Here are some useful tips and tricks Michaeline, Christine, Maggie and I were playing with last Friday (I know, they are geeks, but hey, I played along, wink, wink).

In the Google Search Bar, type:

Find a person's phone number and address
FirstName LastName City StateInitials
Example, Type in> John Smith Arlington Ma
Here is the result
(Catch: It only works for people who have land lines in their name, most of the time)

Get Conversions
How many ounces in a pound?
Example, Type in> 1lb to oz
Here is the result

Built in Calculator
Don't like using the computers calculator?
Example, Type in> 12+6-4*8/2
Here is the result

Definitions
To see a definition for a word or phrase, simply type the word "define," then a space, and then the word(s) you want defined.
Example, Type in> define: valentine
Here is the result

Local Search
Enables you to search for just those stores and businesses in a specific neighborhood. Include a city or zip code in your search and Google displays relevant results from that region at the top of your search results.
Example, Type in> Pizza 02474
Here is the result

Search By Number

Parcel tracking IDs, patents and other specialized numbers can be entered into Google's search box for quick access to information about them. For example, typing a FedEx tracking number will return the latest information on your package. Other special search by number types include :

•
UPS tracking numbers
example search: "1Z9999W99999999999"
•
FedEx tracking numbers
example search: "999999999999"
•
USPS tracking numbers
example search: "9999 9999 9999 9999 9999 99"
•
UPC codes
example search: "073333531084"
•
Telephone area codes
example search: "650"
