Everyday we day learn something new. Google search is awesome in finding information, sometimes very intelligently. You can definitely use it to find websites and webpages but you can also use it as a tool to find a lot of contextual and very specific information. You can skip going to special websites to check weather or check movie timings e.t.c. Its all built into you google search. Here are some of the things you can do with google search:
1. Find Movie Timings in Your Area:
Just enter the movie name and your zip code and googe search will tell you the movie times for that particular day for that movie including the name and address of the theaters.
2. Check The Weather:
Just type in “weather” along with the name of your city or your zip code. You’ll get the weather for next 4 days.
3. Check Flight Status:
Just type the name of the airline and flight number. No need to go to the airlines website to check the status.
4. Convert Currencies:
Just enter something like “50 EUR to USD”. Make sure you enter the to as it tells google you are looking for a currency conversion.
5. See World Time:
Just enter the name of the city followed by “time”. If there are multiple cities by the same name, it will show you the times for all those cities.

Hello Ijaar,
Is there a way to Delete ALL Results of a Search in Google in one stroke?
For example, say I search my emails for the work “WSJ News.” Say I get 1,000 results. To delete ALL these, I have to:
– Select All
– Press Delete
– wait for next set of 20 search results to refresh
– Repeat the above 3 steps another 50 Times !!
Why can’t Google show more than 20 Search Results?
(For reasons hard to describe, I can’t just move all these Search Results to a Different Folder. So the best for me is to DELETE them from the Folder they are in.)
Many thanks in advance.
