Google is arguably the most popular search engine on the Internet. With all its built-in functions, that's no surprise. Most of these features are accessed simply by typing the right phrases into your search. For example, if you want to find out how many cups are in 2.4 gallons, simply search for (without the quotes) "2.4 gallons in cups". Google will automatically plug that math problem
. into its Calculator feature and produce the results on top of your search results. In addition to searching the web, many of these queries can be performed against the data on your home PC. Using Google Desktop allows you to search within emails and documents. Also, you can add "Gadgets" that extend Desktop's functionality. For example, an IP address lookup gadget can be found here: http://desktop.google.com/plugins/i/iplookup.html?hl=en
