some google tips:

Using a special syntax is a way to tell Google that you want to restrict your searches to certain elements or characteristics of Web pages. Google has a fairly complete list of its syntax elements at www.google.com/help/operators.html. Here are some advanced operators that can help narrow down your search results.

Intitle: at the beginning of a query word or phrase (intitle:"Three Blind Mice") restricts your search results to just the titles of Web pages.

Intext: does the opposite of intitle:, searching only the body text, ignoring titles, links, and so forth. Intext: is perfect when what you're searching for might commonly appear in URLs. If you're looking for the term HTML, for example, and you don't want to get results such as www.mysite.com/index.html, you can enter intext:html.

Link: lets you see which pages are linking to your Web page or to another page you're interested in. For example, try typing in link:http://www.pcmag.com.

Try using site: (which restricts results to top-level domains) with intitle: to find certain types of pages. For example, get scholarly pages about Mark Twain by searching for intitle:"Mark Twain"site:edu. Experiment with mixing various elements; you'll develop several strategies for finding the stuff you want more effectively. The site: command is very helpful as an alternative to the mediocre search engines built into many sites.

Swiss Army Google



Google has a number of services that can help you accomplish tasks you may never have thought to use Google for. For example, the new calculator feature (www.google.com/help/features.html#calculator) lets you do both math and a variety of conversions from the search box. For extra fun, try the query "Answer to life the universe and everything."

Let Google help you figure out whether you've got the right spelling—and the right word—for your search. Enter a misspelled word or phrase into the query box (try "thre blund mise") and Google may suggest a proper spelling. This doesn't always succeed; it works best when the word you're searching for can be found in a dictionary. Once you search for a properly spelled word, look at the results page, which repeats your query. (If you're searching for "three blind mice," underneath the search window will appear a statement such as Searched the web for "three blind mice.") You'll discover that you can click on each word in your search phrase and get a definition from a dictionary.

Suppose you want to contact someone and don't have his phone number handy. Google can help you with that, too. Just enter a name, city, and state. (The city is optional, but you must enter a state.) If a phone number matches the listing, you'll see it at the top of the search results along with a map link to the address. If you'd rather restrict your results, use rphonebook: for residential listings or bphonebook: for business listings. If you'd rather use a search form for business phone listings, try Yellow Search (www.buzztoolbox.com/google/yellowsearch.shtml).

Extended Googling



Google offers several services that give you a head start in focusing your search. Google Groups (http://groups.google.com) indexes literally millions of messages from decades of discussion on Usenet. Google even helps you with your shopping via two tools: Froogle (http://froogle.google.com), which indexes products from online stores, and Google Catalogs (http://catalogs.google.com), which features products from more 6,000 paper catalogs in a searchable index. And this only scratches the surface. You can get a complete list of Google's tools and services at www.google.com/options/index.html.

You're probably used to using Google in your browser. But have you ever thought of using Google outside your browser?

Google Alert (www.googlealert.com) monitors your search terms and e-mails you information about new additions to Google's Web index. (Google Alert is not affiliated with Google; it uses Google's Web services API to perform its searches.) If you're more interested in news stories than general Web content, check out the beta version of Google News Alerts (www.google.com/newsalerts). This service (which is affiliated with Google) will monitor up to 50 news queries per e-mail address and send you information about news stories that match your query. (Hint: Use the intitle: and source: syntax elements with Google News to limit the number of alerts you get.)

Google on the telephone? Yup. This service is brought to you by the folks at Google Labs (http://labs.google.com), a place for experimental Google ideas and features (which may come and go, so what's there at this writing might not be there when you decide to check it out). With Google Voice Search (http://labs1.google.com/gvs.html), you dial the Voice Search phone number, speak your keywords, and then click on the indicated link. Every time you say a new search term, the results page will refresh with your new query (you must have JavaScript enabled for this to work). Remember, this service is still in an experimental phase, so don't expect 100 percent success.

Leet (often l33t, 31337 or 1337) is a deformation of English spelling. It is characterized by the use of non-alphabet characters to stand for letters bearing superficial resemblance, and a number of quasi-standard spelling changes such as substitution of "z" for a final "s" and "x" for "ck". It is often used on the Internet by skript kiddies, hacker wanna-bes, and gamers. Even hackers are beginning to pick up parts of it.

Examples

"box" for computer (especially a computer that is being hacked or "h4x0r3d")
"warez" for software (typically bootlegged software)
"pr0n" for pornography
"sploitz" (short for exploits) known vulnerabilities in computer software
"skript kiddie" - a derogatory term used by computer professionals to denote young teenagers who download pre-made automated exploit scripts and who possess little actual understanding of how computer software works internally.
"0wned" - completely dominated (in a game); hacked into (of a computer), in the past tense, this is "0wnz0r3d". This word may also be used as a non-leet, conversational slang term.
"CC" or "carding" for credit card fraud of one form or another
"eggable" for Unix shell accounts (where one can install and run Eggdrop, an IRC bot)
"r00t" for adminstrator privileges (from the Unix administrator account root)
"m4d sk1llz" for hacking talent of one sort or another and also being possessed of great ability in terms of computer games, Webmastering, or flaming.
"phreaking" for hacking telephone systems and other non-internet equipment
"w1k1", "w1|<1" or "^/&#33;|{&#33;" for "wiki"
"n00b" for newbies, or people who are unexperienced in a certain area, also occasionally "pr013", short for "proletariat". (Various other adjectives abound, these being the most civil of them.)
"w00t", "w007", or "&#092;^/007" or the smiley "&#092;o/" is a common interjection, analogous to "Yeah&#33;" or "Yippee&#33;" It originated as a stylisation of "root&#33;" as in "I just got root on your box&#33;"
"haxor", "#4><0|2" for "hacker" -- where the symbols are used to draw rough approximations to letters: >< is an "x", |2 is an "r"
Note that the construction "-xor" or any variation thereof can mean not only "-ker" but also "zor" (which is how a majority of english speakers would say it). In the phrase "r0x0rz my b0x0rz", which means the object of the phrase (usually a game, program, exploit, etc.) is of high quality, "x0r" in the word "r0x0rz" is almost ignored (the word is pronounced "rocks") while the "x0r" on "b0x0rz" is pronounced "zor", as the word is a variation on "boxers". Of course, some pronounce "r0x0rz" as "roks-ors", which is how it is spelt. A very small minority pronounce it "rockers", following the usage in "hax0rz". It should be noted that although the spelling of leet is fairly standarized, pronounciation differs widely, as does the actual alphabet used. Much depends on which forum, newsgroup, or chat room the leet is being spoken in.

Phonetic spellings
"d00d" for "dude"
"joo" for "you", also written as "j00"
"kewl" or "ku" or "ql" for "cool"
"r" for "are", "u" for "you", "c" for "see" (giving the common "see you")
"2" for "to" or "too", "4" for "for" (but note "4" can also represent an "A")
"8" for "-ate", as "l8r" for "later"
"ne" for "any"
"ph" for "f", as in "phear" for "fear"
b4k4^2 or |34|<4^2 for "baka squared." In other words...really stupid.

Frequent misspellings
Frequent typos are also absorbed into leet, such as

"yuo" for "you"
"teh" for "the" (also sometimes used as an intensifier: "He is teh lame")
"pwn" for "own" (to defeat badly, as in a game: "You got pwned") For instance: _|00 607 |*&#092;^/|&#092;|3|) ---in other words you got owned.
"smrt" for "smart"

Other examples
"WHeRE @Re J00 " for "where are you"
"wH4+&#39;S uR nAME " for "what is your name"

But enough with that since it has not much to do with the poll
