There's also a small pile of "experimental" Google functions at
http://labs.google.com (including the ability to speak your search
terms via a phone!?!).


Plus there's a couple of other Google-based functions:

Google Catalogues (http://catalogs.google.com)
Search American mail order catalogues.

Froogle (http://froogle.google.com)
Compare prices at American webstores.

and some spin offs like
www.googlism.com
www.booble.com

Kinda odd that googilism doesn't know anything about Bill Gates but thinks
"Dunedin is really not shiny enough for pink but we will show her our love"
and "Auckland is not possible Tuesday"

depends how you search.
searching for bill AND gates is different than searching for "bill gates"

I searched for bill gates without quotation marks. It looks like
Googlism treats quotation marks differently to Google.

Why ? It's mostly irrelevant.
