Elaborated Google Search

Once i asked one of my good friend, "how do you spend your day in front of the computer". His answer to me was google search. Now here was a guy who google searched when most of the world is engaged in chatting and social sites such as facebook, Orkut, twitter etc..,

Here are some way to specify one's search :
1. To check time in any place in world type time and name of the city
example: time Thimphu
The first result of the search will be :
12:24pm Wednesday (BTT) - Time in Thimphu, Bhutan
followed by other results.

2. check schedules or scores of a league matches or team type league name or team name into the box.
example : EPL
The first result of the search will be :
Next game: Arsenal vs. Bolton, 7 Jan 1:15am
www.premierleague.com
followed by other results.

3. If in middle of surfing the internet, say u got to do some mathematial calculation then you can simply type the expression on the search box followed by a equal sign.
example: 0.25((6%*500)/5)=
the first result will be

0.25 * (((6%) * 500) / 5) = 1.5

4. convert various units of measurements to another as given below
example : 1000 cc in l
the result will be

1000 cc = 1 l


5. find unemployment rate or population by typing "unemployment rate" or "population" followed by the name of the country.
example : unemployment rate Bhutan
the first result is
BhutanUnemployment Rate: 2.5% (2004)
According to https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/print/bt.html

6. To search for definition of words type word followed by : and the word. Do not use space in between.
example define:metamorphosis

search results will be all definitions.


Have fun goggling.....!!! :-)

I encountered the above problem.
A dll file called fp4autl.dll was missing in the location :
c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\40\bin

so you need to get it and place it in above location.

you can get the required dll file (fp4autl.dll) in following ways..

1. Download form any of these links :-
  • my repositary
  • or
  • Dlldump.com site

  • Or

    2. Check out your original XP CD. It may be in the location :- I386\FP40EXT.CAB
    Or
    3. Get the file from some other computer.........person with office 2007 already installed will be having it.

    After you have got the file copy it and paste it to this location :-
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\40\bin
