For those of you have gone way past googling the word google, or a vanity search (putting your own name into a search engine) you probably know these tricks, but for those of you who haven't...
Google define function. VERY HANDY. Type "define:rhubarb" you will get a list of definitions to choose from eg
The rhubarb is a very tart member of the buckwheat family. It is generally eaten as a fruit but is actually a vegetable. ...
Then there is the filetype search. Say you wanted to snag a powerpoint off the web, you type
"filetype:ppt rhubarb" and low and behold 354 powerpoint files containing the word rhubarb.
Lets say you remember the site you forgot to bookmark had the word rhubarb in the url. Then you can use "allinurl:rhubarb"
Web 2.0, you have to love it!
