::News You Can Use:: Google ToolboxDid you know that Google can do much more than find matching web pages for the keywords you type in its search box? Check out our selection of these other free services.
:: More Than Words
You can perform additions, subtractions, multiplications and divisions by using the basic operators (+, - , * and /) as you would in your regular or PC calculator. Have trouble with percentages? Google also knows the answer, just type "45% of 5348" in the search box to get the exact result (2406.6).
Metrics Conversion
Whether you want to try a recipe you printed from a European website or find out how cold it is in Quebec, Google can come handy. It can convert 200 Celsius into Fahrenheit, 7 kilograms into pounds or even 12 miles into kilometers. Just ask Google to solve the equations:
"200C = ? F," "7 kg = ? lbs" or "12 miles = ? km."
What Does It Mean?
Not sure about the meaning of a word? The search engine is also a big dictionary. Just use "define:" before your mystery word. You will be presented with a selection of several definitions from different sources.
