5 Tricks For Becoming A Google-Search Pro

Millions of people use Google each day to search for everything from Demi Lovato to margarita recipes. But while it’s easy to find the latest celebrity rumors, when you’re googling something specific, the results aren’t always quite what you expected. Luckily, there are tips, tools, and new features you can use to get exactly what you want out of any Google search — no matter how obscure.

And with voice recognition, Google can perform even complicated searches without you tapping out a thing. Football score? You got it. Weather in a city you're traveling to in 24 hours? That too. Directions for a roadtrip? Just ask Google how to get there.

If you don’t have it installed already, head to the App Store or Google Play to download it.
