Part 1 Google to the Max

Ex.1: 
    After searching for the keword  "google page rank", I clicked on the first page listed, instead of clicking on the site itself, I clicked on the "cashed" portion of the link. Clicking on this link brought me to a page where the words "Google", "Page", "Rank" were highlighted in an array of colors. The term "Page Rank" was suggested to be on a webpage for it own convenience. Page Rank can Rank webpages to the computer's user's ease. On this page, there is a search bar where a page can be ranked for their on-topics. 

Ex.2:
    I searched the "grass snake" on Google and I found the top searches were snakes. I searched "snake grass" and I found the top searches to be snakes in the grass. I search "Snake In the Grass" and the top searches were images of snakes in the grass. I searched "snake+in+the+grass" and the top search was a definition from Urban Dictionary. Using quotes on "Snake in Grass" caused an exact search for the statement "snake in the grass". The top search for each term indicated the popularity of the link. 

Ex.3:
    I searched the phrase "The one-child law of the people's republic in China" and the top search was a wikipedia link. I searched the phrase " George * * Bush " and wikipedia's link was the top viewed. I found all of a person's praying mantis needs with the search of "ears praying mantis."Links with the most popularity, like Wikipedia, are usually the top of a search result.

Ex.4:
    I searched "babe ruth 1921...1935" and I found Babe Ruth during his glory days. I found a digital camera when searching "digital camera...$300 4.5..5 megapixels." Using dots between numbers help finding numbers in a range. 

Ex.5:
    I found the mileage of a hybrid car from searching [Intitle: milage "hybrid cars."] I found pages on Bush's greenhouse effect from typing intitle:"greenhouse effect." I can find sheet music written in honor of Abraham Lincoln with inurl:lincoln "sheet music."

Ex.6:
    To find fact sheets and reports I used "filetpe:pdf death-rate malinant mesothelioma "united states." To find powerpoint presentations I used "filetype:ppt site:edu china one-child policy."  

Ex.7:
    I apprehended the URL of morocco recipes from the URL in the address box "&restrict=countryMA." 

Ex.8:
    I used Google to define words, but now there is a new strategy for defining words with the blue statistics bar.

Ex.9:
    To find pages in French I used an advanced google search "www.google.com/advanced_search."

Ex.10:
    I found useful currency devices on Google from searching carats in a pound, electrons, and gigabytes.

The rest of part one will return shortly.
