This is about when you don't remember exactly if it's a lady or a woman or a queen or what word. How would you search only knowing that "it's someone who..." and the word might not be "someone"? By the way, it's easy for great celebre songs but in other cases, when searching other items not so mainstream, they'll never appear the first. Try shakespeare!!! If you only can tape "much....", do you have the title? Imagine a inner citation for a less known author.

Just the flight number is enough for google (e.g. LH 1234)

Is that the question?

So glad to learn this one - it'll save me so much frustration

most times, if you just type the word a definition will pop up in the search results automatically. i don't know about the rest of you but, "ain't nobody got time fo dat!"

You need to get a hobby if you're reduced to doing this.

A [square bracket] is used in text to indicate missing words or as a placeholder for the words that you are to insert. The author is not instructing you to use the square brackets when you do the Google search! "Dear [Madam or Sir], ..."

This one is a bit lame as nobody would leave out the location if they wanted the weather forecast for a specific area.

Again, when doing scholarly searches, this is very useful to weed out the articles that are two "old" to be of use in a research paper.
