This is the original post is started to write when I went on a rant about Google Search killers, sorry about that. Here is a more succinct post abut what I’d like Google to provide.
Power Search
Let me know in the comments of power search features you’d like, but 2 that would be useful for me would be; ‘ip4:’ and ‘ip6:’. A query of:
ip4:17.149.160.49
This would return results form this IP address 17.149.160.49 (’ip6:’ is the IPv6 equivalent).
Spell Checker
As you might of guessed my speling sux. It’s a combination poor typing skills and dyslexia. So the thing I love most about computers is the spell checker. Apple make my life easier too by providing a build in spell checker for any Cocoa application. But by far an away the best spell checker I have ever used is Google, so much so that I will often find at the end of a day 10 or so window open with search for; ‘avaibule’, ’sussinct’ or ‘priverlage’.
A handy widget or API for this would make me happier than a gay dyslexic at a pianist convention.
Upgrades
There is a lot of technology in Google that doesn’t quite work. Take the ‘related:’ command, supposedly it list pages and site that are, well, related to a site you specify. It only works for a handful of sites and then with curious results.
