  • Very informative. Anyone can become a better researcher with the help of this article.

    • One of my favorites is the “define” command. Heck I also use the “translate” command. Try it out.

      In the search box, put in:

      translate:bebe

      Thanks for reading and commenting, Laura!

  • love the infographic, i especially liked the bit about not using wiki for your school projects resource. my son who is only in 5th had used wiki for his recent science project and i was just explaining to him to follow the links at the bottom for the real sources. better to start them early ;-)

    thanks for the info AP

    • Oh wiki does have it’s uses, but geeks know all about the editing behind it. :) I find wiki to be good if I want some fantasy stuff like Xmen history. Not history on North Carolina. (lol)

      thx for reading, jeepndave!

  • This was both interesting and helpful. I think that this will make my google searches far more efficient and in my job that is a plus. I particularly like the convertor feature. Keep up the great work!

  • Very informative. True i don’t use Google much but I was amazed at some of the shortcuts. I guess i’ve been doing thing the hard way!! Great article!
