Summary:

Everybody knows that Google is the ultimate research tool -- a search engine that indexes more than 2.4 billion web pages. But there's more to Google than most people know. Google is a powerful and highly customizable user interface for tapping the resources of the Internet. Google Hacks explores this unique interface, demonstrating clever ways to perform a wide variety of tasks using Google. Google also has a programming interface (API), which even non-programmers can use to automate complicated or repetitive tasks. Google Hacks is a collection of 100 tips and tools gathered from expert users of Google, as well as developers who are excited by Google's new API. Each hack can be read in just a few minutes, but can save hours of searching for answers. There are dozens of scripts that you can customize to write your own Google applications. You'll be amazed, if not amused, by what you can do in Google.
