the definition for. For example, typing: define
bravura would display the definition of that word.
2. Local search - Visit Google Local enter the area
you want to search and the keyword of the place
you want to find. For example, typing: restaurant

3. Phone number lookup - Enter a full phone
number with area code to display the name and
address associated with that phone number.
4. Find weather - Type weather followed by a zip

8. Find PDF results only - Add filetype: to your
