According to StatisticBrain, in 2013, there were almost 6 billion Google searches per day, with a total of 2,161,530,000,000 searches for the year. I would dare say that, if the majority of those people knew some of these Google search tricks, there would have been SO many more…
Here is a list of helpful things Google can do, along with a few delightful secrets you might enjoy.
