How To Browse Any Website Via Google Cached Pages
Google automatically takes a “snapshot” of each page it crawls and archives it. This “cached” version allows a webpage to be retrieved for your end users if the original page is ever unavailable (due to temporary failure of the page’s web server). The cached page appears to users exactly as it looked when Google last crawled it, and Google display a message at the top of the page to indicate that it’s a cached version of the website. You can access the cached version by choosing the “Cached” link on the search results page.
If you want to prevent all search engines from showing a “Cached” link for your site, place this tag in the <HEAD> section of your page:
<meta name=”robots” content=”noarchive”>
To allow other search engines to show a “Cached” link, preventing only Google from displaying one, use the following tag:
<meta name=”googlebot” content=”noarchive”>

To use Google’s built-in calculator function, simply enter the calculation you’d like done into the search box.
Simple Maths

great post mate i use google allot but I constantly see new tips like these – theres so much in this website i dunno why google themselves dont just post a list of all the stuff that goes on there
I use a number of these, some of which I found by accident when searching. For me Google is the #1 search engine just because of all these sweet add-ons. It’s so much more than a way of finding the web istes you are looking for.
“! factorial – This must follow the number you wish to factor.”
I stopped reading after this. 5! = 5*4*3*2*1. Factorial is not the factorization of a number, simply the product of all integers between the specified number and 1.

Great tips. I already log onto Google about a thousand times a day, so now it will be a thousand and one.
I knew most of them already, I use the currency and the calculator often. Some new ones there thought which I shall take a look at. Cheers!

I normally do a search like this: “keyword site:sitename.com” to search a particular site. That always saves my life, as I hate using the search feature that is normally present on the site.
