Google Search is, quite possibly, the most useful single thing on the Internet. Without it, it’s fair to assume we’d still be stuck in the age of asking Jeeves to make himself more useful, and maybe today we’d be using verbs like “Binging” it and “Yahooing” it instead of “Googling.”
But do you know how to really get the most out of Google Search?
Until you've read this, i guess “no,” so take a look at this Google Search tips to make your digital life easier.
1. Search Exact Phrases
If you're looking for an exact phrase, use quotation marks around the keywords to view results containing that exact phrase. For example, "how to dual boot Ubuntu and Windows 10”
2. Exclude a word
If your search terms contain a keyword with several meanings, you can exclude one of the meanings by adding a hyphen (-) before the keyword. For example, the martian -book
3. Search a specific domain
You can search within a particular URL by including the term site:example.com before or after your keywords.
4. Generate similar content
To generate content similar to what’s found on a URL you already know, use the related: operator before adding the URL.
5. Search for words in body copy
To retrieve pages where all the keywords appear in the body of the page, type allintext: before the search term.
6. Find pages that link to specific URLs
Type link: before a URL name, and you’ll be shown all the pages on Google that link to it.
This is particularly useful for SEOs who are searching for backlinks to a specific page.
7. Perform calculations on Google Search
You can simply type in the equation and get the result instantly. You can use either the letter “x” or “*” as the multiply symbol on your PC, while “/” is the division symbol.
8. Convert between units Whether it’s meters to centimetres, feet to yards, or litres to those obscure British gallons, Google has you covered.
Just type convert followed by the numbers and units you want to use, and hit Enter.
[b]9. Search by file type
If you're looking for a specific file on the Web, you can use the filetype: operator to specify the particular document type you're searching for, and Google will restrict results to pages containing those document types.
10. Find your public IP address
Need your IP address? type ip address. Simple.
11. You don’t need a dictionary; just ask Google
Type define followed by the word you want to know the meaning.
12. You can view flight schedules on Google.
To find out flight schedules, simply use the keyword flight origin to destination. For example, flight Lagos to Abuja.
13. Translate from one language to another.
You can either visit Google Translate to get your translation done or just use the translate keyword in Google to translate the text to another language.
14. Use Google as a countdown timer.
This is pretty handy. Just search timer for x minutes and Google will automatically start the countdown for you.

[b]15. Track your packages
If you're based in the US, just enter your UPS, USPS or FedEx tracking number directly into Google to see tracking information about your package.

The Bottom Line
By now you should be feeling like a Google Pro. There are, however, plenty more such tricks you can use to improve your Google quality of life.

How will the world be without Google? They are virtually tracking everyone especially if you're an Android device user.

I use Google most times as my dictionary, its the dictionary I really trust, because when you given a meaning of a word they give u other words relating to them - Synonyms.

Not really a waste of resources. The simple thing there is that smart phone is never equal to smart brain.
The use of the phone must be subject to brain function but it's the other way round in most cases for these folks
Many of these people are just something else.

Thanks Op

Go to google images. You will see a camera icon, click on it.

After clicking on the icon, you will be given the option of uploading an image or posting the web link of the image

The normal stuff I do, gives me perfect results.
