Google-The Missing Manual 2nd Ed

Google The Missing Manual

Google.com is one of the five most popular sites on the Internet and is used around the world by millions of people every day. Sure, you know how to “Google it” when you’re searching for something–anything!–on the Web. It’s plenty fast and easy to use. But did you know how much more you could achieve with the world’s best search engine by clicking beyond the “Google Search” button?

While you can interface with Google in 97 languages and glean results in 35, you can’t find any kind of instruction manual from Google. Lucky for you, our fully updated and greatly expanded second edition to the bestselling Google: The Missing Manual covers everything you could possibly want to know about Google, including the newest and coolest–and often most underused (what is Froogle, anyway?)–features. There’s even a full chapter devoted to Gmail, Google’s free email service that includes a whopping 1 GB of space).

Mining Google Web Services

Mining Google Web Services-Building Applications with Google API

Google is one of the best ways to find information on the Internet. This unique search engine combines simplicity and flexibility, with an elegant array of search features. You probably know that using Google to search for the information you need saves considerable time. Unfortunately, for everything Google has to offer, you still end up performing the search manually. You can still spend more time than you really have to research a topic just looking for the information. Reading and using the information seems impossible, in some cases, because the time just doesn’t exist to do it. Even with Google, you’re still not in full control over the Internet information store.

Fortunately, Google has a great answer to this problem in the form of Google Web Services. I wrote this book because I know from personal experience that spending 5 minutes to perform a search is better than spending a whole day. I do anything I can do to make the search process easier and more automatic. The examples in this book help you understand how to accomplish research in minutes, rather than days. With the right application, you can spend more time reading the information you find, which means you’ll have an edge over everyone else who has to research the same material manually.

It wasn’t until I had spent some time working with Google Web Services that I began to understand how truly flexible it is and what you can accomplish with it. For example, you can build an impressive search engine for a Web site using Google as the source of information. I’ll show you how to construct site searches that makes Google into your personal site-specific search engine. Combine this functionality with a database and you can gain access to instant information about a particularly useful Web site.

Building Research tools with Google

Building Research Tools with Google for Dummies

I was going to say that Google is “a complex piece of software.” Then I was going to describe it as “a research environment with many moving parts.” And then finally I was going to use the phrase, “a way of life.” Anyway, you probably already have a pretty good idea of what Google is, even if, like me, you don’t find Google easy to describe simply.

However you might describe Google, no one doubts that it’s a great tool for researchers. What you might not know is that significant resources are available within the Google family that few people know about. For one thing, Google provides access to its essential functionality with an XML-based SOAP Web service — called the Google APIs Web service, or simply the Google APIs.

Google Talking

Google Talking

Google store the accounts for millions of users, but it also maintains an invisible social network, tying various accounts together. Google knows who invited you to join their Google Mail service, as well as whom your friends are in Google Talk, creating an interesting network of your friends and family. Other Google services, such as Orkut (www.orkut.com), make this social network visible by allowing you to invite new friends to join your social circle.

Google has also started work on its line of Web-based office applications. It currently offers the ability to create and store documents and spreadsheets (http://docs.google.com), maintain your calendar schedules (www.google.com/calendar/), and store your favorite photos (http://picasaweb.google.com). We’ll take a look at many of these applications and see how Google Talk plays a vital role in then.

Dangerous Google

Dangerous Google

Google serves some 80 percent of all search queries on the Internet, making it by far the most popular search engine. Its popularity is due not only to excellent search effectiveness, but also extensive querying capabilities. However, we should also remember that the Internet is a highly dynamic medium, so the results presented by Google are not always up-to-date – some search results might be stale, while other relevant resources might not yet have been visited by Googlebot (the automatic script that browses and indexes Web resources for Google).
