Brush up on your Google skills with InterQuest Group's latest Survival Guide.

1. InterQuest Group’s Survival Guide for Googe

2. Google is the most popular
search engine in the world.
It provides a whole host of
services such as Google Plus,
Google Analytics, Google Maps,
Google Adwords, but the most
used service is definitely the
Google Search Engine.

3. Many people think that the
search bar is a simple tool that
just does the one thing that you
expect of it – search.
However, it has many other
hidden tricks that you may not
know about. Here’s a few of our
favourite tips and tricks for
using the Google Search bar...

4. -1-If you want to find all of the
links to a certain company,
type ‘link’ before the site name.
E.G. link:interquest group
– This will display a list of
links to sites that mention the
InterQuest Group page. This is
useful when navigating around
a company’s online presence; it
is quick and thorough, allowing
you to swiftly conduct your
research.

6. -2-To find websites and pages that
are relevant to the company
or topic you searched for, the
Google Search Engine can help
you do this. Type ‘related’
before the site name. E.G.
related:interquest group – This
will display a list of websites
that are related to InterQuest
Group. This tool allows you
to quickly conduct research
around a company or topic.

8. -3-When multitasking, let Google’s
voice command feature help
you. This is available on the
search engine by clicking on
the microphone in the search
bar and talking into it. This
is available on both mobile
devices and computers that
have a microphone. It is useful
for those individuals that
are constantly multitasking,
wanting to make notes and
research.

10. -4-Use Google as an alarm! You
can set a timer on Google by
typing ‘set timer for’ then
entering the desired amount,
as shown in the picture. If you
have timed exams to practise
for or something in the oven
that needs a certain amount of
cooking time, then it is useful to
have this available on Google.
Whether you use it on a PC or
mobile device.

12. -5-To look up your IP address,
simply type ‘IP address’ into
the search bar and you will
be shown it. You often need
your IP address to run certain
software on your computer,
so it is always handy to know
where you can find it and
quickly.

14. There are also lots of ‘fun’
things that Google can do, when
you find yourself with a spare
minute. Such as...

15. -1-Tilt – by typing “tilt” into the
search bar, the webpage will
physically tilt.

16. -2-Do a barrel roll – Typing “do
a barrel roll” into the Google
search bar will make the entire
page ‘roll’.

18. -3-Typing “Atari breakout” into
the Google Images search
bar will bring up the Atari
Breakout game.

20. We strongly promote
responsible use of Google
Search... but we understand
that sometimes these fun tips
are necessary when boredom
strikes.
Good luck and have fun finding
new and innovative services
that the Google Search bar
offers.
