You may be aware that Google is considered the most accurate and far reaching search engine on the Internet. But did you also know that it is a calculator? And a dictionary? Listed below are a few Google features that may be useful to you.
A calculator: just write an equation backwards (e.g., =20*5) and Google will solve it.
A dictionary: Google will define words if you type "define:" before your search (e.g., define: journalism).
A telephone directory: enter a person's first (optional) and last name followed by the city and state and Google will display their phone number and address (e.g., george bush austin, TX).
***You can also search by category and zip code (e.g., hospital 35476) for a "yellow pages" style directory.
A package tracker: enter the tracking number for FedEx, UPS or USPS and the tracking results will be displayed.
For a more detailed description of the above features and a few extras, just visit: Google features.
