Google Tricks

These days everyone has either heard of or used Google. I personally use it every day, as most of you probably do to. That's why this week's tip deals with enhancing something you use every day. There are many tips and tricks you can perform with Google's search engine. I'll go over a few that I think apply to everyone:

 

-You can track packages by typing the tracking number for your UPS, FedEx or USPS package directly into the search box.

Example: 1Z9999W99999999999

 

-To see the weather, type "weather" followed by the city and state, zip code, or city and country.

Example: weather 31605

 

-To find reviews and show times for movies playing near you, type "movies" followed by the city and state, or zip code.

Example: movies 31605

 

- Looking for a map? Type in the name or U.S. zip code of a location and the word "map".

Example: Valdosta map

 

-Want to search within a specific website? Use the word "site:url" followed by the keyword.

Example: site:ncare.com consulting
