[Google] Google tips you haven't tried | MoreFun
**Translation:**
1. Google launched the Google Olympic SMS Reminder service, which supports both mobile and Unicom phones. By subscribing, you can stay updated on the competition status at any time. A single phone number can reserve up to five types of news updates, including medal standings, weather conditions at the venue, and brief updates on individual events, and it's free!
2. Search for online camera monitoring sites
Enter "inurl:\"viewerFrame?Mode=\"" or "inurl:\"MultiCameraFrame?Mode=\"" or "inurl:\"view/index.shtml\"" (without the outer double quotes, in English input mode) into Google, and you'll find countless unencrypted webcam feeds. It’s a fun way to satisfy your curiosity when you're bored.
Additionally, visit this site: www.opentopia.com/hiddencam.php, select "China" in the "from" field, and you can see footage from a networked camera somewhere in China.
Google it to find this list of cameras:

3. Make Google search results open in a new window
By default, Google's search results behave differently from other search engines like Baidu, opening directly in the current webpage, which may not be convenient. To change this, after opening Google, select the "Preferences" link. In the opened page under "Results Window," check the option "Open a new window to display search results." Click "Save Preferences" to complete the setup.
4. Compare the number of search results for two keywords in Google
Curious about whether Kerry or Bush is more popular? Just compare their search result counts in Google. Open www.googlefight.com/, enter "Kerry" in "Keyword #1" and "Bush" in "Keyword #2," then click "Make a fight!" The results show that Kerry has 741,000 search results while Bush has 4,020,000—Bush wins!
5. Let Google tell you where to travel
Have you decided where to travel yet? Ask Google. Go to douweosinga.com/projects/besttimetovisit, enter the name of the destination city in the "Enter the name of destination" field (e.g., "Beijing"), and click "Go" to get the results.
6. Interesting keywords
Entering "_*_" as a keyword in Google will only return a large number of Chinese pages, regardless of whether you're searching all webpages or just Chinese ones. Wondering why? Visit http://blog.outer-court.com/forum/5066.html to learn about the conflict between ASCII characters and Google.
7. Chinese-English Dictionary
This Chinese (English) word translation service is provided by DrEye Dictionary. The query format is: "fy + Chinese (English) word" (do not input the "+" or "" symbols during actual operation). For example, entering "fy innocent" in the Google search box will display a link to the Chinese translation of "innocent" at the top of the search results page. Clicking it will let you find the meaning of the word in Chinese. Similarly, if you want to translate "无辜" into English, just enter "fy 无辜," and Google will directly display the corresponding English word. Clicking the "Dr.eye Online Dictionary" link below will give you even more information. If you don't have a translation tool handy, Google's word translation service is very convenient.
8. Weather Inquiry
The query format is: "tq + city name." For example, entering "tq Beijing" and clicking the "Beijing Weather Forecast" link at the top of the search results page will allow you to check the weather forecast for the next three days in Beijing on the t7online website.
9. Postal Code or Long-Distance Area Code Inquiry
Although the internet is highly developed today, occasionally you might need to write a letter or make a call. This feature can help. The query format is: "yb + city name" or "qh + city name." With this command, you can also input the corresponding postal code or long-distance area code to reverse-search for the city name. However, based on my testing, the postal code and long-distance area code data indexed by Google is still quite incomplete and needs further supplementation and improvement.
10. Stock Inquiry
The query format is: "gp + stock name or code," such as "gp Baosteel Shares" or "gp 600019." The data is provided by Sina Finance.
11. Mobile Phone Number Location Inquiry
Directly input the mobile or Unicom phone number, and through the relevant links, you can find out the province, city, and type of SIM card associated with the number, making it very convenient.
