16. Clarify Ambiguous Search Phrases.
Do you know the first and last word of a book’s title? Are you struggling to finish a lyric that you heard in the car? In Google’s search bar, merely type out what you remember and replace what you can’t recall with an asterisk like so, *, and let Google take care of the rest. For example, ‘Harry Potter and the * Stone’ would yield a ‘Sorcerers Stone’ as a corresponding result. The asterisk tells Google to hone in on the specific word you are missing out on.
15. Translate Any Language.
Well, almost any language. Simply type in the two languages that you want to use and press ‘enter’ so that you can be sent to the translation page. For example, “Spanish to English” would yield you a translation page where you can type in a Spanish word and see it represented in English, or vice versa. You can even physically draw a word with their online pencil device if you aren’t sure how to input it via your keyboard. This is definitely handy for people traveling around the world.
