1.    Dictionary
All the top 5 search engine acts like an online Dictionary. If you need the definition of any word came across to you, you don’t have to use dictionary or any website you just need to use definition:   replace the with the word you are searching for.
For e.g.: definition: Computer
And Google also provide and Dictionary search engine google.com/dictionary

Supported Search engines: Google, Yahoo, Bing, Ask.com, and Aol.com

2.    Specific file type
Most of the time we keep searching for any particular file type (like: PDF, MP3, TXT and etc) in search engine by going t each and every webpage. But now you can search it easily without going to each webpage by using filetype: replace the with the file type you are searching for and also replace the with the word(s) you are searching for.
For e.g.: filetype:pdf Search Engine Optimization

Supported Search engines: Google, Yahoo, Bing, Ask.com, and Aol.com

3.    Calculation

Many of you need to check the T.V. or the site where you can see the current pries of any particular currency. But now you use the search engine or few web Brower address bar (like: Google Chrome)to convert your currency to the currency you want to convert. Just type the to replace the with your amount, with your currency name and replace with the currency you want to convert in.
For e.g.: 1000 INR to USD

Supported Search engines: Google, Yahoo, Bing and Ask.com

5.    Search within specific website
Sometime it happens that we don’t want to search all over the world, we just want to search in a particular website. Just use site: replace the with the website you want to search in (can be also use for subdomains) and also replace with the word(s) you are searching for.
For e.g.: site:jajodia-saket.co.cc Saket

For e.g.: site:info NASA

9.    Search within URL
You can search within the URL. As a blogger I use it to find new or old, you might have notice in many blog URLs the year, month and date is given. So it makes it easy to search. Just use inurl: replace the with the year, month, date or word(s) you are searching for.
For e.g.: inurl:2010/08 Search tricks

Supported Search engines: Google, Yahoo and Ask.com

10.  Sunrise and sunset time
If you want to know at what time sunrise or sunset going to happen in your city, just use sunrise or sunset replace with the city you want to know.

Hope you like this and you can also combine these tricks and make your search more accurate. And let see what combination you make and let us also know.

Keep your Important window Always on Top

Hi! Everyone, hope you all are fine.
In this post I will help you in keeping your one window on top of the other window you are working on.

Think when you are watching a video in a player (let’s take VLC media player) and also working on word or surfing on the internet in maximized mode. So, when you are watching the video and switch to the browser the VLC media player disappears as it went back, behind the browser.

So what you do when you are watching the video and also suffering on internet or working on word???
Possible solution can be:-
1.       Keep on switching the windows.
2.       Resize the window size.
3.       Or do one work at a time.

But now you don’t have to do all this, let see what is the solution to keep the player (or any other window) on top of the other, even after switching the one window to other.



Surfing on the internet but the player is always on the top.



Working on the MS Excel but the Calculator is always on the top.

1st download Always on Top utility, Click here (<200 kb).
Its free utility written in Autohotkey which will stick the any program window to the foreground (on top) of your desktop.

After downloading open the zip file in to your computer

Now run the always-on-top.exe file.

Now select the window you want to keep on top (like in upper example VLC media player window will get selected), after selecting the window press Ctrl + Space Bar this is the shortcut key to stick the window to the foreground of your desktop. Now wherever you want to keep that window in your screen you can keep it, it will come on top of every window. And do all your work without letting hide the other window.

And if you want to disable it press the same shortcut key Ctrl + Space Bar this will disable the sticking.

Thanks to Amit from Digital Inspiration.

Tip: you can also keep more then one window on the top by selecting each window at a time and press Ctrl + Space Bar respectively.



Working on the MS word but keeping the three different window always on the top.
