New Power Saving Search Engine By Google
Google is the second Brain to many of us. We use it frequently. It uses
white screen which consumes higher power.
Read the following?
“If Google had a black screen, taking in account the huge number of page
views, according to calculations, 750 mega watts/hour per year would be
saved?!!!!!
In response Google created a black version of its search engine, called
Blackle, with the exact same functions as the white version, but obviously
with lower energy consumption:
Help spread the word.. Use ” www.blackle.com“…
Google Search Shortcuts
Navigate search results quickly and easily, minimizing use of your mouse. Current keyboard shortcuts include:
| Key | Action |
| J | Selects the next result. |
| K | Selects the previous result. |
| O | Opens the selected result. |
| <Enter> | Opens the selected result. |
| / | Puts the cursor in the search box. |
| <Esc> | Removes the cursor from the search box. |
Exclude Term From Google Search
If you want to exclude any term from google search just add “-” sign in front of that. Eg. keyboard design -interfacing
Similarly, if there is a need to force any term use “+“. Terms like “the”, “is” etc. which are common are excluded from search query for getting optimum results. So, this thing does the job.
Note: There is no space between operator and term..
Google Indic Transliteration
Disgusted of remembering the keys for hindi typing ? Try out this exciting new feature of indic translation by google labs which allows you to get the hindi text for similar sounding text in english. Eg. ram will be translated as राम. There are advanced options in case you want something else to be typed. All is visual and easy to use.
Google Advanced Operator Search
Google allows the use of certain operators to help refine searches. The use of advanced operators is very simple as long as attention is given to the syntax. The basic format is:
operator:search_term
Notice that there is no space between the operator, the colon and the search term. If a space is used after a colon, Google will display an error message. If a space is used before the colon, Google will use your intended operator as a search term.
