Falls, rather than hijack your other thread, I think I did that already,
here are more tricks with google you might find useful. Not sure about the other engines as I don't really use them much. But some stuff I use regularly:
1) Search a specific site: If you want to search for everything posted by a particular user type the following into the google search and click search:
username site:toyota-4runner.org
This will search for anything posted/replied by whatever username you specify. You can also do an advanced search and narrow stuff down by date.
2) Get the weather for a zipcode/city. type in:
redondo beach, ca weather
instant weather on google. works for tons of places and great for planning my next off road trip ;) I always want to know where fresh snow has fallen.
3) Calculator (most people don't know google has a built in calculator) say you want to add, subtract or divide something type in:
2+2
and voila it will output a number.
4) Unit conversions: I use this one quite a bit to convert from the english system to si (and vice versa) depending on the projects i'm working on. so say you want to convert cubic feet to gal:
1 ft^3 to gal
and done....it has been converted.
5) one last one I like to use...google will track packages for you
ups, fedex,...whatever just type in the tracking number.
There are a ton of these little tricks hidden w/in google (kind of like finding hidden stuff in the 4runners) Anyway, these are the ones I use often.
Enjoy!!!
