Yahoo search shortcuts, a reference.

Yahoo has some great ways to get information faster by using search shortcuts. Here is a page at Yahoo that gives all the various search shortcuts which can make your life easier. It's quite extensive and when you know how to use it for things you do often in search, it's great.

Google has these types of functions too but I don't think they have the amount that Yahoo does. For instance, if you want to know the time in Oklahoma City, them just type in "time in Oklahoma City", it's that easy for a number of these shortcuts. Gee this would have been nice to have in college 20 plus years ago. To have some quick facts and reference available so simply would have saved a ton of research time. Well, the internet would have been nice for a lot of research in general back then. There were only a very, very few people who may have had an Apple II or something like it. We still typed term papers, researched at the library exclusively, and tried to think things through so we could avoid editing errors. These days, with this kind of power at the desktop, it's almost like cheating!
