More Google Search Tips

This past fall, TechSoup published a list of tips for turbo-charging your Google search. Today, Lifehacker explores some additional, lesser-known search tips for finding what you want, including how to ...

• Get the local time anywhere in the world.
  Enter what time is it [name of city].
• Track flight status.
  Enter the airline and flight number to find arrival and departure times.
• Compare items.
  Enter better than [name of item you wish to compare]. This can be especially helpful when comparing technology products.
• Identify foreign language words and phrases.
  Google image search can be a quick way to find out what that word means.
• Look for faces only.
  If you're conducting an image search and want to leave out inanimate objects, add &imgtype=face after your query.
• Track packages.
  Use Google to track numbers for UPS, FedEx, and USPS.
• Find local weather.
  Type weather [ZIP code] or weather [name of city].
• Find local movie times.
  Enter movie title + City, State
