Google offers so much more than just search.
From the silly to the useful, these Google features will make you love Google even more than you probably already did.
- Google Image search "Atari Breakout" and prepare to forget whatever else you were supposed to be doing.
- You can set a timer on Google (and get an alarm to sound when time is up) by Googling any amount of time followed by "timer."
- Google Sky lets you explore the far reaches of the universe using images from NASA satellite, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and the Hubble Telescope.
- Google nGrams is a fun tool that lets you search for words in 5.2 million books published between 1500 and 2008 so you can see how much it's been used over time.
- Intimidated by huge numbers? Google will help you figure out how to pronounce that 12-string number if you type "=english" after it.
- Unleash your inner child by checking out Google's Build with Chrome.
- You can add "+anything" when typing your email address and it will still work. This can be good for filtering emails (for example, you could set up a folder for all emails sent to "youremail+datingsite@gma
il.com"). - Google recently released a fun new Maps game called SmartyPins that gives you geographic trivia.
- Getting married? Google will help you plan your wedding, announce the news, locate a venue, fill in the plans, make a website, and more.
- There's a "Manual" feature in Google Translate that lets you draw characters or symbols.
- Find a gorgeous font that you can use for free (Google Fonts).
- Get your culture on by using Google Art Project to check out super high-res photos of artwork from the world's greatest museums.
Loved playing "Atari Breakout"? Here's one more..

"Do A Barrel Roll"
"Tilt"

Typing in “/Pitchforks” in a Google Hangouts dialogue box will launch a stream of angry townspeople racing across the screen with pitchforks. “/ShyDino” will feature a green dinosaur hiding behind a small house in your chat window, while typing “/BikeShed” will also change the background color. And they didn't forget My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic in Google Hangouts, either: Typing in “/Ponies” or “/Ponystream” will make animated ponies dash across your chat window.
In Google Maps, search for “Police Telephone Box.” It will bring youEarl’s Court Station. Go to the location’s streetview and you’ll see the Doctor Who TARDIS on the sidewalk. Click the double-white arrows in front of the police box and you’ll be sent to the inside of the time machine. Once inside, you’ll be able to have a 360-degree view of its interior.
In the late 80s, video game developer Konami utilized a special cheat code that could be used on the company's video games. The “Konami Code” was made popular with Contra for the Nintendo Entertainment System. When players input “up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, start” during the game’s title sequence, they could unlock 30 extra lives to get through the game instead of the standard three.
Google has used the Konami Code on a few of its products, including Google Play Games, Google Docs, and Google’s Chromebook Pixel. Swiping the Konami Code in the Google Play Games mobile app willunlock a clever achievement that reads, “All Your Games Belong To Us.” In Google Docs, typing the Konami Code will reverse your entire document, and in Google’s Chromebook Pixel, typing in the code will make the LCD stripe on the outside of the computer blink in a frenzy of various colors.
