200 Hidden Google Tricks You Must Try Right Now

Here is a list of 200 Google tricks you must try. You will also learn about some of the benefits of search engines. So let’s dive right in.

Google Tricks You Must Try ASAP – Do A Barrel Roll

The first Google trick that comes to mind is to do a barrel roll. They do a barrel roll trick is an idea in an old Nintendo game where a wise old rabbit called Peppy tells the player to dodge an enemy’s fire by rolling 360 degrees.

How does this work in Google?

This trick will roll the results on the Google page by 360 degrees. You can do this trick by simply searching “do a barrel roll” alternatively, you can type z or r twice. In the game, z or r will do the stunt when pressed twice.

Blink HTML

I think this Google trick will make your friends laugh. Search “Blink HTML” in Google and watch as the two words start to blink on every result link on the Google result page. It is one of my favorites.

Google Is Word Master

When you look for the meaning of a word, do you know that Google explains the meaning? No, not the dictionary definition. For example, when you search for the word “recursion,” the meaning is repeating the application of a procedure. Or something along that line.

Google intentionally asks, “Did you mean: recursion“? If you click on recursion, the same question will be asked again, and that sequence continues until Google asks you, “You Get It?” Smart Google repeats the application of your quarry to explain the meaning of recursion to you. The same thing happens to some other words too.

See this example:

Anagram is the word used to describe a word formed from the arrangement of the letters in another word.

Take this as an example: You can form an iceman from the cinema.

So when you search for an anagram, Google helps explain the word to you by asking, “Did you mean: nag a ram“? Aside from showing the dictionary meaning.

Nag a ram is derived from an anagram.

Atari Breakout

You can play many games on Google by simply searching for some words. However, Atari breakout is unique. Why? It only works in Google Images. The game is like the old brick-buster game. Search “Atari breakout” on Google and click the images button to play the game. Google gives you a share link for the game after playing it. Please share the link with your friends to let them participate in the fun.

Search Image Instead Of Words

This is one of the severe Google tricks you should remember. Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you don’t know the word to search in Google and need an answer? You can use Google image search instead. Google allows you to search for an image to look for other places where it appears online and gets more info about it. Just take the picture and upload it.

The link is images.google.com. It is similar to the regular Google page, but this one has a camera link to upload your image. It also allows text, but the search will lead to the Google images page.

You can read more from Google itself.

Google Tricks You Must Try – Gravity Trick

Can you withstand seeing your Google result crash? I bet you’ll say yes. Then let’s do it. I got to google.com. I mean the same homepage where you put your search quarry at the center of the screen. Then type “Google gravity” and click the I’m feeling lucky button. Watch as the tangible result falls.

Zerg Rush

I see people do this trick, and after the laughter and fun, when they are asked, ‘what exactly is a Zerg‘? “I dunno” is always the reply. To me, that, too, is pretty funny. It will be fantastic to show some more swagger and explain your tricks to the audience after the fun.

What’s Zerg?

Zergs are an alien race in the Starcraft game. So when you search for “zerg rush,” you will see insect-like bubbles pop on the page, and they start killing the results one by one. You can cancel the display by clicking on Clear on the right side of the screen. Now let’s pause the Google tricks for a minute.

Do you know the best trick you can do on any search engine? It is to know their benefits and earn from them. Because what’s the use of any trick if it doesn’t bring any money into your pocket? Some people like only tricks, though I can’t entirely agree with that. Money speaks.

Benefits of Google and Other Search Engines

Let’s take a short break from Google tricks and talk about the benefits of search engines because there is more good in that. Do you know that more than 625 million websites are on the internet? Imagine for a moment that there is no Google or any other search engine. How would you search for information on the internet?

“You’ll be looking at one site after another?”

That will be time-consuming and stressful. Search engines help us pick out the websites that answer our queries correctly. This is possible because Google and the likes have the catalog of most of the pages on almost all the websites online. So when you search for something, the search engine will go deep into its catalog and find the page that is relevant to your search. So how does Google benefit us?

It Saves Us Time

Can you imagine how long it will take you to go through the list of websites on the net manually? There are many websites online.  In terms of saving time, search engines do three things: They go through all the sites on the internet for you, compare the results and rank them according to their relevance to what you search, and all of that is done in less than a second most of the time. What else do search engines provide?

Allows Advance Search Queries

Search engines allow you to refine the result you get by using some advanced search queries. These queries are sophisticated but very flexible for you – the search engine user. Let’s take, for example. You want to search for an exact phrase on Google. Just put the phrase or word in quotes like” PCMOMENT,” and you will get the relevant pages.

Or maybe you only need to search for the phrase on a particular website, using “computer site:www.pcmoment.com.”

Helps You Make Money

Aside from the fact that Google and other search engines help save money by giving everybody free service, except if you are doing paid advertisement with them… Search engines are ready to pay you by displaying ads on your site. Isn’t that awesome? I know some search engines that request money before you will be allowed to use their service.

Imagine if that is how Google works and think of students and job seekers looking for info on how to advance in their careers. How tough will that be knowing the fact these people have limited means? But most search engines don’t do that. Instead, they allow you to earn from what you already know. With that, I’ll conclude this fantastic post on the Google trick you must try and search engine benefits.

I hope you enjoyed it, just like I enjoyed sharing it with you.
