Have you Googled lately?

Who hasn't. But the question is how did you Google and do you know these neat Google tricks?

On many computers I see, the Google toolbar installed taking up valuable screen space and causing issues. Get rid of it. Internet Explorer 7 has a great search facility built in.

We've put together some of our favourite Google tips and search techniques on our Fun With Search page. If you:
  • Want to know the weather
  • Need a handy calculator
  • Want to know the meaning of a word
  • Want to do a Google search with pages from your country as the default
  • Want to know what other people in others countries see when they search Google
  • and much more

then check out the JustLocal Fun With Search page.

One tip our clients love is the ability to set Google Australia as the default search in Internet Explorer 7. Most people think they are stuck of Microsoft's Live Search which is the default. Now they can click on a link on the Fun With Search page and set Google Australia, or Google Australia with pages from Australia as their default search engine. It couldn't be easier.

Happy searching.

PS. Have you ever wondered why when you sometimes search using Google it gives you the option to show only pages from the country, and other times this option isn't available. Try the search engines for the different countries and check the results. Can you work out why?
