Google is a search tool that powers the Internet, or at least most of it. But over the years, it has become more than just a search tool. Google is now packed full of free features that you can use every day.
Once you start exploring our list of the best Google search features, you will soon realize that the possibilities Google is practically endless. We’ve picked some of the best features, but Google is constantly adding features like this without even announcing it.
Either way, these Google search features will surely make your life more convenient, or at least give you a little fun.
Check the weather
Just enter the weather forecast into the Google search bar and you will get an 8-day weather summary for your current location. You can see the expected temperature, precipitation, weather conditions, humidity and wind.
If you have a trip planned, you can also search for a weather location to find the weather forecast for your destination. For example, the search query “Los Angeles weather” will return results for Los Angeles weather.
You cannot search for weather results more than 7 days in advance, but you can enter a specific month to find the average expected weather for that month. For example, Los Angeles Weather in December will show the average temperature and number of rainy days in December over the past years.
Roll a Dice
Enter Roll Dice on Google and hit the search button to get the advanced dice tool. You are given the tools to add as many dice as possible to your roll, as well as 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 20-sided dice. You can also add the value directly to the dice roll, and when you press the roll button, you will immediately see the total value.
Account Account
Google Search also works like a calculator. Enter the calculation directly into the search bar for quick confirmation. In many browsers, the results will appear right in the search bar, so you don’t even have to hit the search button.
If you need a more advanced calculator, search it on Google and a tool with additional features will appear. You can use functions and even create graphs with this calculator.
Convert any units of measurement
Need to know how many centimeters are in an inch? What about converting pounds and kilograms? Or maybe you want to know exactly how many ml is in a glass of water. Just enter your unit and amount and then “in converted value”. For example, 1 cup per ml will return a result showing how many milliliters are in one US cup.
This Google search feature works for any unit used for temperature, area, length, volume, time, fuel consumption, speed, mass, and digital storage.
Color selection and color coding translation
Whether you’re looking for a hex code for a specific color, or want to be able to convert a hex code to RGB, HMYK, HSV, or HSL, just search for the color picker on Google and the color picker will appear.
You can click and drag the palette to select a color, or enter any color code you have and all codes will be automatically updated for you to copy.
Create a metronome at any tempo
Google will let you create a metronome at any beat you choose. All you have to do is google the metronome, select the BPM, and then hit the play button.
Quick Meditation
Do you need time to breathe and worry? Enter breathing exercise on Google and hit search. You will be given a 1 minute breathing exercise.
Press the play button and on-screen prompts tell you when to inhale and when to exhale. Perhaps not as comprehensive as meditation apps, but it should be enough to get you a quick break.
Search for royalty-free and Creative Commons images
If you want to find images that you can use and edit for your own commercial use, go to Google Images and search for an image. Then click on “Tools” and then click on “Use Rights”. Choose the one that suits you and Google will return the relevant results with the right licenses.

However, you can also click the drop-down arrow below Snake to find other games like PAC-MAN, Tic Tac Toe, Solitaire, and Minesweeper. Of course, you can always use Google to find other online games
Quick Waiter Tips
If you are in a panic and want to calculate a tip for a waiter, search the tip calculator on Google and the calculator will return. You can enter your invoice amount and then specify the percentage you want to tip.
If you want to split the tip between the group, you can also add more people and the calculator will show you the amount needed per person.
Currency Conversion and Track Prices
You can convert any currency value by entering the current value in the current currency and then in another currency. For example, 10 USD to GBP will return the calculation for the current conversion of USD 10 to British Pounds. Please note that this information is based on Morningstar and does not reflect the rates your bank may offer.
You can also view 5 years history for any two currencies, and even search for cryptocurrencies like bitcoins.

Search for a start timer and you will be presented with a Google search function that can create a timer or stopwatch. With the timer, you can set your own time and the sound will play when the timer reaches zero.
Determine the time of sunset or sunrise in your area
Want to know the sunrise or sunset times in your area? Just find the time for sunset or sunrise. You can also search for specific locations. For example, the time of sunset in Singapore will tell you the expected time of sunset in Singapore.
Search for movies, shows and songs like favorites
Want to find a movie, TV show or song that you like? Just enter Batman songs / shows / movies into Google and you will get relevant results. Replace Batman with any song, show or movie you like.
Search for travel and distance information
Do you want to know how to get from point A to point B? Enter location A into location B and Google will tell you the best way to get there, how to get there, and how long it will take. Google uses many factors, including public transit information and Google map data, to create a detailed travel itinerary.
If you are using this Google search feature for simple curiosity, try this: the distance between location A and location B, and Google will tell you how many miles or kilometers are between two points on Earth.
