Google is awesome 
I have some interesting observations and search question.
I've noticed that Google seems to strip certain characters and words from it's queries. For example the following result in an empty find: (){}[]<>.,!-"$:#?@!^%~|
Interestingly the following three symbols do return results: _ * &
Does anyone know of a way to enter a query using the symbols above (other than the 3 that do work) to get results?
As a programmer I often wish there was someway to narrow a search down by using some of these symbols.
For example: foo() or bar() are commonly used in the programming circles to represent a class or function. If you make Google search on foo() you notice that it immediately drops the parentheses and only returns results for "foo".
Extra note: Etymology of "Foo": http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3092.html  |

Google's index nearly doubles. 8 billion pages!!! That's awesome!
Hmm. That's funny none of the other search engines seem to boldly display their total quantity of indexed pages.  |

| Wow I never knew that you could do all that cool stuff with Google. This makes my life so much easier. Now when i'm on the computer and I need to use a calculator I wont need to use the stupid windows one. I love Google it is so clean and simple to use, I hope that Gmail is as just as nice or even better. |

* If you're a Webmaster and you've accidentally deleted a page from your site, Google may be able to help you retrieve the code. Run a search that'll find the page you lost, and then in your results listing, click the "Cached" link to see a copy of the page when Google last recorded it. (Google keeps a snapshot of all the pages it tracks.) Right click the cached page itself (on a Mac, Ctrl-click) to get a menu with an option to View Page Source or View Source. Voila! Google delivers your original code and saves your bacon. |
The "cached" feature is one of the features I like the most. Let's you view sites/pages that aren't there anymore.
Is it possible that when you click on a link that isn't active anymore, google would automatically show the cached page? |

* Google is a calculator. If you type in 2*2=, the blank search box is smart enough to know that you want to perform some math rather than run a search. (If you actually want to search for instances of the equation itself, then put it in quotes, like this: "2*2=."). The Google calculator can do very complex calculations, and it can also perform unit conversions, like "How many acres in 13 hectares?" or "5 kilometers in miles." You never have to wonder again how many teaspoons are in a cup. |
And not to mention Google's answer in the calculator for answer to life, the universe and everything (without quotes) is 42, which is a reference to the book The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. =) |
haha I like that
