[(Google the Missing Manual )] [Author: Sarah Milstein] [May-2006]

by Sarah Milstein

Google.com is one of the most popular sites on the Internet and is used around the world by millions of people every day. Sure, you know how to "Google it" when you're searching for something--anything!--on the Web. It's plenty fast and easy to use. But did you know how much more you could achieve with the world's best search engine by clicking beyond the "Google Search" button? While you can interface with Google in 97 languages and glean results in 35, you can't find any kind of instruction manual from Google. Lucky for you, our fully updated and greatly expanded second edition to the bestselling The Missing Manual covers everything you could possibly want to know about Google, including the newest and coolest--and often most underused (what is Froogle, anyway?)--features. There's even a full chapter devoted to Gmail, Google's free email service that includes a whopping 2.5 GB of space).This wise and witty guide delivers the complete scoop on Google, from how it works to how you can search far more effectively and efficiently (no more scrolling through 168 pages of seemingly irrelevant results); take best advantage of Google's lesser-known features, such as Google Print, Google Desktop, and Google Suggest; get your website listed on Google; track your visitors with Google Analytics; make money with AdWords and AdSense; and much more.Whether you're new to Google or already a many-times-a-day user, you're sure to find tutorials, tips, tricks, and tools that take you well beyond simple search to Google gurudom.

Includes the basics such as Google image searching, as well as the extremely specific (such as how to search a range of numbers from 1 to 100.) It even tells you how Google got its name and about cool sites such as Google Analytics and GoogleFight.

Google on all things gmail !

This was an interesting book on mostly learning tricks to use with your gmail account, very good if you’re new to gmail .

A very uneven book. For example, the treatment of Gmail is detailed and helpful. On the other hand, the treatment of Google Groups is very poor.

Meh. Most of it I already knew, but I like to read about stuff in the event that I learn one or two new things.
