Explicit Phrase: Lets say you are looking for content about internet marketing. Instead of just typing internet marketing into the Google search box, you will likely be better off searching explicitly for the phrase. To do this, simply enclose the search phrase within double quotes.
Example: “internet marketing”

Exclude Words: Lets say you want to search for content about internet marketing, but you want to exclude any results that contain the term advertising. To do this, simply use the “-“ sign in front of the word you want to exclude.
Example Search: internet marketing -advertising

Site Specific Search: Often, you want to search a specific website for content that matches a certain phrase. Even if the site doesn’t support a built-in search feature, you can use Google to search the site for your term. Simply use the “site:somesite.com” modifier.
Example: “internet marketing” site:www.smallbusinesshub.com

Similar Words and Synonyms: Let’s say you are want to include a word in your search, but want to include results that contain similar words or synonyms. To do this, use the “~” in front of the word.
Example: “internet marketing” ~professional

Specific Document Types: If you’re looking to find results that are of a specific type, you can use the modifier “filetype:”. For example, you might want to find only PowerPoint presentations related to internet marketing.
Example: “internet marketing” filetype:ppt

This OR That: By default, when you do a search, Google will include all the terms specified in the search. If you are looking for any one of one or more terms to match, then you can use the OR operator. (Note: The OR has to be capitalized).
Example: internet marketing OR advertising

Phone Listing: Let’s say someone calls you on your mobile number and you don’t know how it is. If all you have is a phone number, you can look it up on Google using the phonebook feature.
Example: phonebook:617-555-1212 (note: the provided number does not work – you’ll have to use a real number to get any results).

Area Code Lookup: If all you need to do is to look-up the area code for a phone number, just enter the 3-digit area code and Google will tell you where it’s from.
Example: 617

Numeric Ranges: This is a rarely used, but highly useful tip. Let’s say you want to find results that contain any of a range of numbers. You can do this by using the X..Y modifier (in case this is hard to read, what’s between the X and Y are two periods. This type of search is useful for years (as shown below), prices or anywhere where you want to provide a series of numbers.
Example: president 1940..1950

Stock (Ticker Symbol): Just enter a valid ticker symbol as your search term and Google will give you the current financials and a quick thumb-nail chart for the stock.
Example: GOOG

Calculator: The next time you need to do a quick calculation, instead of bringing up the Calculator applet, you can just type your expression in to Google.
Example: 48512 * 1.02

Word Definitions: If you need to quickly look up the definition of a word or phrase, simply use the “define:” command.
Example: define:plethora

Just follow the following steps to configure your Firefox in order to speed up Firefox:-

Tip 1 [Step 1]: Type “about:config” into the Firexfox’s address bar and press Enter. Find the following Preference Name or you can copy the following Preference Name and then paste it into the Filter text box.

1) network.http.pipelining,

Tip 1 [Step 2]: Alter the entries as follows:

1) Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”
2) Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”
3) Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some number like 30. This means that it will make 30 requests at once.

Tip 2: Change the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

- Right-click anywhere on the Firefox browser and select New > Integer.

I’m using Outlook Express to send and receive my email during office hours and it is necessary for me to backup the important emails periodically. I have spent a lot of time to search the free software to backup the email from Outlook Express, at last I found this software is only allowed 30 days trials, it is not very useful because I can’t backup my email after one month because this software will be expired and even you reinstall also cannot use at all.

Luckily my friend taught me how to backup Outlook Express email without software installation, you can follow the following steps to backup your Outlook Express email.

1. Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Option (Under Folder Option dialog box, go to View tab, tick “Show hidden files and folders” and uncheck “Hide protected operating system files (recommended)”

2. C Drive > Documents and Settings > (your computer account name) > Local Settings > Application Data > Identities > {39594A78-5E62-4AE2-A0CF-C643E3E6D091} > Microsoft > Outlook Express (Copy all the data under this folder)

NOTE: {39594A78-5E62-4AE2-A0CF-C643E3E6D091} Different computer has different code, which means that your code is not same as mine

If you want to recover the email, follow the same steps, copy the the email which has been backup and paste to the Outlook Express folder (refer step 2) and overwrite the existing files.
