This will be the first in a series of weekly posts that will help you squeeze just a bit more out of your Google searches. This week we'll start wil some basics - how about getting a quick dictionary definition and/or finding synonyms.To see a definition for a word or phrase, simply type the word "define" then a space, then the word(s) you want defined. To see a list of different definitions from various online sources, you can type "define:" followed by a word or phrase. Note that the results will define the entire phrase.
If you want to search not only for your search term but also for its synonyms, place the tilde sign (~) immediately in front of your search term. This part sounds more useful than it really is - I find it easiest to grab the synonym from the Dictionary.com search result.
