Given how much time I spend scouring the web for interesting things to write about, I stumble across a lot of interesting Google search tricks. Because of this, I decided to compile a list of some of the best tips and tricks that I’ve learned from Google recently to help you further master the world’s most powerful search engine. Without further ado, here are some of the best Google search tricks I’ve discovered over the past year.
Turn your phone into a level with one simple search
If
you do a search for “bubble level” in a mobile browser, Google will
bring up a graphic of a green bubble that will tilt depending on the
angle you’re holding your phone. I’ve so far got this to successfully
work in the mobile versions of Chrome and Safari, although it likely
works in other mobile browsers as well. At any rate, this is a handy
little search trick for anyone working on a home improvement project who
doesn’t have a level handy.

Find out the exact day of the week in a certain number of days:
Ever wonder what the exact day of the week it will be on a certain date? Now you don’t have to open up your calendar — instead, just ask Google “what day is it in 143 days” and you’ll be informed that it will be a Friday. Or ask “what day is it in 243 days” and you’ll be told it’s a Sunday. Or if you want to go even farther into the future, Google will let you know that it will be a Thursday 2,543 days from now.
Learn a random piece of cool information by typing two tiny words:
Type “fun facts” into Google (but be sure to just type the words without quotation marks), and you’ll be given a random fun fact at the top of the page, as well as a box that gives you the option to ask another question. If you do click on the box, it will indeed bring you more interesting factoids, including what kind of wood the Mona Lisa was painted on, how deep the Grand Canyon is in meters, and the number of different scents your nose can remember. The possibilities are limitless.
