Even search experts can be taught new tricks! Earlier this morning I learned a tip which I am already finding wildly useful ... the inclusion of the word "diagram" when using Google Image Search. How often have you been working around the house, garage or work and something stumps you and you think ... wouldn't it be useful if I could see a diagram and know what this "thingamajig" is called, or how it is used?!
Well, it's amazing how many people before you have had the same problem, and may have posted help on the web. Here are just a few examples. As my final query indicates, don't just restrict your use of this technique to objects in the classic sense. See my example for "Hairy Woodpeckers", a Northwoods visitor to my suet feeders.!
- Remember, all search queries use Google Image Search.
- Each image was the very FIRST result
- Remember, it may be valuable to visit the page hosting the image!
- Maximize any image to view at full size
