It's hard to imagine what the internet would be like without the most-used Google search engine. It handles more than three billion searches each day, but do we all know how to use it well? As it turns out Google has some tricks that not everyone knows about.
To make searching for information online a little bit easier you should memorize these simple tricks, such as replacing unknown words in a phrase with an asterisk or using a hyphen to remove words from your search.

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!"
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.

This format of post was very inconvenient for me and I'm wondering if anyone else had to tap on some posts to see the entire thing?
I am *not* a fan of the trend to use videos for information that is more easily consumed via static text & images.
(or gifs)
Almost all of them, I'm glad it wasn't just me!
Now only the last one is an animation, the others are static pictures :) THANK YOU
was tapping on them supposed to do something? i tried that to see if it would pause, but it didn't work for me.
It doesn't pause it but for me it makes it full screened so I could see the entire post
Could not read any of them. Terrible format
Impossible to see the images ... What a bad format choice!
