5 THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW GOOGLE COULD DO.

1. Do a Barrel Roll

You can make your Google page roll on end by entering the phrase “do a barrel roll” into the search box and hitting enter. It’s a fun reference to the classic video game Star Fox!

2. Track a Flight 

Just enter the desired airline and flight number into Google's search box and instantly see the arrival and departure times right in the results. Now you can keep up-to-date with any flight without having to constantly check the airline's website.

3. Fly Using Google Earth 

Visit Google Earth, press CTRL + Alt + A (Command + Option + A for Mac), choose your aircraft, and fly! You can even simulate flying an F16 Fighter Jet. Click here to learn the flight controls.

4.Track Packages

Just enter any package tracking number into Google to see exactly where it is. Now there’s no need to log in to the USPS, UPS, or FedEx website!

 

5. Synonym Search With a Tilde 

Adding a tilde (~) to your search terms will tell Google to include any related search terms or synonyms you may have missed. This improves your results page and can help find exactly what you’re looking for.
