Google just doesn’t stop delivering the goods. New features I discovered recently and would like to share: unit conversions and updated toolbar.
Did you know you can type in your conversion right into the search box and Google will return the answer instead of searching for pages. Some examples would be
- 50 * 73
- 40 celsius in Fahrenheit
- 90 kilograms in stones
- 5 square inches in square centimeters
- (G * mass of earth) / (radius of earth ^ 2)
- half a cup in teaspoons
Toolbar 2.0
In addition to the previous functionality of searching without going to Google page and highlighting the toolbar provides pop-up blocking, auto filling of forms.
