Secret Features of Google You Might Not Have Ever Known..........

Millions of users are using Google apps, devices, tools and features today. Google has succeeded in occupying the search niche, carrying out more than 70% of all internet searches. Still, even if you use Google daily, there are quite a lot of unrevealed features and tricks from Google just waiting to be found.

1. Check Flight Status
Easily, you can type the requested airline and flight number into Google’s search box then you’ll get – as the top results – all the details you need for this flight. By using this feature, you can keep up-to-date with any flight without having to constantly check the airline’s website.

2. Search for Faces Only
when I typed “George Michael” in the search bar and chose “faces”. Sometimes you need to do this if you’re looking for Faces Only!

3. Site Search
To use this feature, you need to type the keyword ‘site:’ to make Google only show the results from one site. For example, I typed “site:exposingtruth.com truth”. I got stories about the word ‘truth’ from the Exposing The Truth website.

4. Decrease Email Length
Sometimes, you need to reply to specific part of text someone sent you. The nice way to do that is to highlight that part before hitting reply. This trick will add only the selected part to the quoted text and leave the rest out of your reply!

5. 42 as the answer to life
To know what this “42” is about, you need to have a look at The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Although, we can say it’s the mysterious answer to life, the universe and everything.

6. Faster Way to Translate
Before you go to Google Translator, check this cool feature by typing ‘translate to ’ in the main search bar. Here is an example, I typed: ‘translate hola to english’, Google returns the following result, as hola (in Spanish) means hi (in English).

7. Play Games on YouTube
● Go to YouTube.
● Pick a random video.
● For example, type 1980.
Now, you’ll get the missile defense game where you will have to protect your video from an impending attack! If you lose, your video will crack apart. Some use this feature to pass the time while waiting for something online.

8. Calculator
You may think that this calculator is simple one, but in fact, it’s much more than you think! Not only able to do basic math functions, it can also achieve logarithmic calculations, constants, as well as functions like Cos and Sin.

10. Going to Mordor
This feature, which is a bit strange, is built on the famous movie The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. By using it, you can get walking directions from “The Shire” or “Rivendell” to “Mordor”! If you type the words and ignore all the auto-complete suggestions, you’ll get the route! It would be interesting for many to figure it out and find their theoretical path to Mordor!

11. Follow your Package
