Computer Tips and Tricks

To “Google” has become synonymous with searching the internet. This month we uncover handy and simple tricks to make Google your next best friend.

Search for exact phrases using quotes 

By wrapping your key phrase in quotes, Google will search for the entire phrase, narrowing down your search results. Try searching for “NSW Seniors Card enewsletter” with and without quotes and you’ll see what we mean…

Google as a Calculator

Google functions as an intuitive scientific calculator. Try the following, or test Google with your own equations: 

  • 5+5*10.5

  • 1 km = ? feet

  • .5 kg = ? pound
  • 52 days = ? seconds

  • 86 F = ? C

Google as a Currency Converter

Use Google to convert international currency.

Examples:

  • 1 AUD = ? USD

  • 1 USD = ? Yen

You can also use Google to get weather details (try “Weather Sydney”), definitions (try “define:magnifying glass”) and even simple question/answer (try “population of Sydney”).
