I use google primarily due to its effective search engine results, it is cleaner and more accurate. However, as I go along I found several useful features of google that is very helpful on my day to day activities and can make life easier for us which others do not have.

The Dictionary Feature

All bloggers and writers may need to scan through a dictionary from time to time. But with the built in dictionary feature of google everything just happens in a click.

All you have to do is type in “define:word” in the search box without the quotation. And replace the “word” with the word you want to be define and hit the search button there you are. A list of definition comes out.

The Calculator Feature

At times, you may want to compute something and doesn’t want to get out of rhythm by minimizing your browser and going to calc (on your desktop) or getting an independent electronic calculator.

Google solve that problem for you with its built in calculator feature. Just simply type in numbers you want to compute e.g “9/2″, “69*5″, “8900-39.25″ without the quotation and hit the search button. Result pops out!

Webpage Translation

Google translate translates foreign websites to your language of preference. Currently it offers 23 languages available for translation. This is most useful to business people who wishes to source products in foreign countries and many more.

Google Documents

If you are having problems accessing documents, Google documents will help you solve that problem.

Google documents enables you to store Office spreadsheet, Office presentation, Office documents securely online. So you can access this document anytime anywhere from around the world.

You can even create your presentation online while you are away and simply download that file for it to be opened in PowerPoint on your big day.

Question and Answer Feature

Try to ask google question and he will give you answer. The answer comes out on top of the search engine results.

For instance, on the image left, I asked google on the “birthplace of Michale Jordan”. The result comes on top of the search engine at Brooklyn New York. You may want to ask questions on the “population of China”, “Currency of Brazil”, “Birthdate of Michale Jackson” without the quotation of course.

There’s actually a whole lot of Google features available but these five I find the most useful. Share with us the most useful feature of google you had experienced through the comments facility.
