Quote:INFO: Everyone loves Google, and its the first place many people turn to locate information on the Internet. Theres a big gap, though, between knowing that you can use Google to get advance information on your blind date and having a handle on the considerable roster of fact-finding tools that the site makes available. Google Hacks revealsand documents in considerable detaila large collection of Google capabilities that many readers wont have even been aware of. Want to find the best price on a pair of leg warmers? Try the Froogle price-searcher thats hidden within the Google site. Interested in finding weblog commentary about a particular subject? Tara Calishain and Rael Dornfest call your attention to the special Google syntaxes for that purpose. This book makes it clear that theres lots more to the Google site than typing in a few keywords and trusting the search engine to yield useful results.
If youre a programmeror even just familiar with a HTML or a scripting languageGoogle opens up even further. A large part of Google Hacks concerns itself with the Google API (the collection of capabilities that Google exposes for use by software) and other programmers resources. For example, the authors include a simple Perl application that queries the Google engine with terms specified by the user. They also document XooMLe, which delivers Google results in XML form. In brief, this is the best compendium of Googles lesser-known capabilities available anywhere, including the Google site itself. David Wall
