Type G for Gmail

Set your browser's default search as Google and experience a whole new world of Goomains. Type Keywords like "Craigs PHX" directly on the Address bar to land on the desired page instead of taking the out-dated Ctrl-Enter route. (Note: This has been witnessed only in IE. I haven't tested it in Firefox. May be Vic will.)  

 

The Title Bar web search pretty much seems to have a toggle between Search (to return results) and "I'm feeling Lucky" (To re-direct to the top result) The over used internet buzz words like "yahoo" or even "buzz yahoo" directly take the scout to the landing page. The up-coming sites which still don't have enough Google respect like tidyupvictor.com (sniff sniff) only get listed as results.

 

Here is a list of GooMains that I found

GOOG-411 tips

Have you tried Goog-411? It's Free, let's you reach that Pizza place and free. Did I mention it is free? (That's the biggest selling point for me. Yeah I am cheap)

There are a few pointers that you could use while trying Goog-411
 
• Tired of listening through the names and locations of Pizza Places' franchises that way across town? Drop in the name of the street too in the Business Name. The helpful operator (?!?!?) would fetch the location you wanted and only that. "Papajohns Thunderbird" does it for me every time.

• Add 1-800-GOOG-411 to your contacts. You will not regret it.

• With a GPS handy, you can use GOOG-411 for some on the fly change of plans. You can get the address of that IMAX in Grand Canyon, program your GPS, get your partner to start driving and then get connected to the nice lady at the theater so you could check the show timings.
