Have you checked it out yet? Google has just released a new website called “ What Do You Love ” that presents a nondescript search box just like the one on the main Google page, but this time with a heart-shaped button. <3 the heartshaped button! I tried it out, and kind of like what I saw. Instead of the usual list of text-based search results that you get on the regular Google page,  this new service presents a view consisting of small panels as shown in the screenshots below. For example, if you search for “Yoghurt” ,  panels such as “See pictures of YOGHURT”, “Explore popularity of YOGHURT”, “Find books about YOGHURT” and so on will be shown. These little panels can be further expanded by clicking on the icon in the lower right corner.   And if you want more results of the category (e.g. videos about YOGHURT), there is another button in the upper right corner of the panel and you can go directly...

Get the rest of the search tips at this link here Use the syntax as above, the actual numeric unit followed by the currency code and then the word "TO" and the destination currency code - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad

Last week, Yahoo added a new search tab Yahoo! App Search to its search interface that will allow you to search specifically for iPhone or Android apps. You can type your search query just as I have done in the screenshots below to retrieve relevant search results.  Besides using keywords to search for your preferred type of apps, the site also includes trending apps, daily personalized app recommendations, related apps to the one you’ve searched for, and direct links to the iPhone App Store and Android Marketplace for speedy downloading. At first look, it does look rather useful.  I am definitely bookmarking this one for myself :) Search results with two keywords "Photoeffects" and "Free" Clicking on an app link brings you to a page like this, where you will see details of the app, Yahoo user reviews (if any) and links to related apps If you click on the "Free" yellow button as in previous screenshot, you will be brought to this pa...
