Think you know Google Search?

If you think that all there is to using Google Search is entering a few keywords and sorting through the answers, you don't know it very well. There are a number of "featured searches" built into that little search box on the Google page.

Want to know the weather in Arlington? Type in "weather Arlington, TX" or "weather 76010". Challenged by time zones ... like, uh, what time is it in Auckland, New Zealand? Type in "time auckland". Want to see a movie? Type "movies" followed by your zip code.

If you want to see more of these "built-in" searches, take a look at the Google Search Features page. You might find a search so useful it becomes a regular part of your day.

Hmmmmm, I wonder what the weather is like for our Olympic athletes in Beijing?
