Google Tips (not google hacks) - 2004/10/18 07:43
Here is some cool stuff that you can do with google. Post any tips/tricks/apps that you have found here..
Google SMS (Get google searches with your phone!)
# Enter your query as a text message. See some sample queries.
# Send the message to the US shortcode 46645 (GOOGL on most phones).
# Receive a text message (or messages) with your results, usually within a minute. Results may be labeled as "1of3", "2of3", etc.
# To get Google SMS help info sent directly to your phone, send the word 'help' as a text message to 46645.
Sample Queries:
Business listings from Google Local
Google Local enables you to search the entire web for just the stores and businesses in a specific neighborhood. Get the name, address and phone number of a business near you or in any zip code across the US.
To get business listings:
* Enter what you want to find. You can search for either a specific business (Pizza Hut) or a general service (pizza).
* Make sure to include both a city and state, or a zip code with your search terms.
* If you want to make sure you get Google Local results, put a period between the business name and the location ('pizza.10013' or 'pottery barn.boston ma')'.
Sample queries:
* pizza 10013
* pizza new york ny
* pizza.10013
* Pottery Barn 02116
* Pottery Barn Boston MA
* Pottery Barn.Boston MA
Residential listings from PhoneBook
Find publicly listed phone numbers and addresses for residences in the US.
To see residential listings, use any of the following combinations as your query:
* first name, last name, city and state
* first name, last name, state
* first name, last name, area code
* first name, last name, zip code
* phone number, including area code
* last name, city, state
* last name, zip code
Sample queries:
* john smith palo alto ca
* 650-555-1234
* B Walsh, 90210
If there are both residential and business listings for your query, your results will show both categories.
If you do not receive any results, it is likely that your query is for an unlisted residence.

Prices from Froogle
Froogle lets you search millions of products from stores across the web. Check prices on popular products for easy comparison shopping. These results are not advertisements, just current prices for products available online.
To see prices:
* Enter a product. You can search for either a specific product (sealy posturepedic queen) or a general one (coffee maker).
* You can specify that you only want prices by including 'price' or 'prices' at the beginning or end of your query. Or, use the shortcut 'F' before the search terms. Remember, Google SMS is not case sensitive, so 'F' and 'f' are the same.
Sample queries:
* Price ipod 20gb
* ipod 20gb prices
* F ipod 20gb
* price dvd player
* dvd player prices
* F dvd player
Definitions
Find definitions for a word or phrase on the Web:
* Enter 'define' followed by the word or phrase
* Or use the shortcut 'D' before the search terms
* Google SMS is not case sensitive, so 'D' and 'd' are the same
Sample queries:
* define prosimian
* D Gordian knot
* d crepuscular
