new smart search system
So my good friend philip petersen introduce me to this new search site. Its basicly a site that allow you to write all sorts of one line code before you search. E.g. if you write xim cars – you will get a all the large images from google that responds to cars. Here are some more clever ones:
fspell spells what you type with letter images retrieved from Flickr.
convert converts from one unit of measurement to another.
gmt retrieves the local time at a location.
today sends you to the Wikipedia list of events that happened on this (or any other) day.
sum adds any number of numbers and returns the result.
define is the most popular english dictionary command, and it has a lot of aliases.
thes will find another way to say something.
unit looks up the definition of a particular unit of measurement:
w (The Weather Channel)
wu (Weather Underground)
Think it will take a bit of time to remember them, but once that is done searching would be much faster. It works as both a firefox plugin and a webpage
