Google has a lot of features that you may never have heard about. Here are 5 lesser know ways to use Google:

1. Google as a dictionary.

If you use the ‘define’ before any English term, Google will quickly give you a definition at the top of the results page.

2. Don’t wait for the six o’clock news Google is your new weatherman.

Just type ‘weather’ followed by the zip code or name of a city and you’ll get up to the minute conditions as well as a four-day forecast at the top of the result page.

3. Tilde for broader search results.

Using the ‘~’ before your search term will deliver pages with the search term a its synonyms.

4. Get more bang for your buck.

5. Google on the go.
