Search Engine
Search Engines
A web search engine is a software system that is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web. The search results are generally presented in a line of results often referred to as search engine results pages (SERPs). The information may be a mix of web pages, images, and other types of files. Some search engines also mine data available in databases or open directories. Unlike web directories, which are maintained only by human editors, search engines also maintain real-time information by running an algorithm on a web crawler. Internet content that is not capable of being searched by a web search engine is generally described as the deep web.

Find the Hidden Calculator
Find the Hidden Calculator
If number crunching just isn't your thing—and you need an answer fast— Google's hidden calculator is a lifesaver. Head straight to the search bar and type in the problem or equation you're looking to solve. You'll know you've gotten to the right place when a gray, calculator-like tool pops up as the search result.
Bonus tip: How many teaspoons equal a tablespoon? When the homework is put away and you need an extra hand at the Chemistry lab, this tool converts measurements, too.
Definitions and More
Definitions and More
Browsing the Merriam-Webster dictionary for hours might be a lost art, but broadening kids' vocabulary doesn't have to be. Simply add the word "define" before a search term (for example, “define onomatopoeia”) to bring up the proper spelling, definition, origin, and even fun tools like voice and translation options.
Bonus tip: If you struggle with spelling, don't worry. Google will suggest and search based on the appropriate spelling of most words, just as it does for regular searches.
Age-Appropriate Results
Age-Appropriate Results
Tools like Google SafeSearch and YouTube's Safety Mode can help filter out mature content that's beyond what those below 18 are ready to see or read. This can also be taken a step further with search results filter by reading level so you or your younger siblings or friends feel comfortable with what's in front of them. Let Google annotate the results with reading levels labeled, or choose to only show basic, intermediate, or advanced level content.
If you are looking for credible information—or your first taste of scholarly research—you can check out Google's academic offshoot, Google Scholar.17 Bonus tip: Explore with confidence by viewing content critically. Just because you see it online doesn't mean it's true.
Time-Zone Challenged
Time-Zone Challenged
If you have far-flung family and don’t want to wake them up in the middle of the night, you can find the local time anywhere in the world by typing "time" and a city's name into the search bar.
The Perfect Search
The Perfect Search
Let’s say the homework assignment requires you to use only one source of information. Enter your query, followed by the URL for the website (i.e., weaving site: ncca.gov.ph/) and hit enter. You'll see only results from that website.
Need help with weaving homework but getting search results for weaving for sale? Add a minus sign before "sale" to eliminate sale-related results.
Photo Magic
Photo Magic
Learning how to attribute photos is a critical research skill. With Google Reverse Image Search, you can upload any photo to Google Images and hit "search" to find the name of it, and a whole lot more.
Bonus tip: In Google's Chrome browser, you can just right-click on any image and select "search Google for this image." There's a Firefox addon, too.
Just for Fun
Just for Fun
If all you really need is a little distraction, go to Google and type in "tilt," browse the Google Doodle archives, or just tell Google to do a barrel roll. You won't be disappointed.”
