Search Engine Secrets

I previously spoke of Google being an "all-knowing genius"; however, I had no idea then about all of its best kept secrets! This search engine is way more knowledgeable than I had given it credit for. Google can not only answer my questions, but the famous search engine can also define words and allow me to search for a specific type of file, book or site. Google can also become a calculator! Just type your mathematical equation into the search engine and it produces an answer--just like a genie granting your wish! Check out the video below for search options. For even more ideas on how to use Google as a search engine, click here. 
But wait--there is another! (Say WHAT!?) That's right, Google has a competitor in the race of being the most intelligent search engine there is! Have you ever heard of WolframIAlpha? If not, check it out now! You can literally enter any question and receive not only an answer, but an analysis made up of human experts instantaneously! You can learn about fractions, unit conversions, state facts, vocabulary definitions, what a prefix, suffix or dumbo octopus is! (Yes there is such a thing as dumbo octopus--look it up on WolfraIAlpha, I know you are dying to now!) This search engine is perfect for students--or parents--who need help on an assignment or research project. All the knowledge you could ever ask for, at the click of a button! Watch the Youtube videos below so you can see it to believe it!
