Google is a more powerful tool than most people realize. You can get much more refined searches with Google’s built-in tools, advanced operators, and third-party extensions. Some of the useful search options are: (at google.com)
  • Bypass Paywalls, Blocked Sites, and More with a Google Proxy: Just add the URL you want to visit to the end of the Google URL (e.g. http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=ja&tl=en&u=http://example.com/ and you’re good to go.
  • Find Free Downloads of Any Type: For example, to find free Android APKs, you’d search for -inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:”index of” ask to see site indexes of stored APK files. 
  • Discover Alternatives to Popular Sites, Apps, and Products: roku vs 
  • Access Google Cache Directly from the Search Bar: just type cache: before that site’s URL (e.g. cache:http://lifehacker.com). 
  • Search for People on Google Images: If you’re looking for a person and not a flower, just search for rose and add to &imgtype=facethe end of your search URL
  • Get More Precise Time-Based Search Results: Just add &tbs=qdr: to the end of the URL, along with the time you want to search (which can include h5 for 5 hours, n5 for 5 minutes, or s5 for 5 seconds (substituting any number you want). So, to search within th past 10 minutes, you’d add&tbs=qdr:n10to your URL.
  • Refine Your Search Terms with Advanced Operators: using quotes (like “white teeth”).  Similarly, if you want to exclude a word / site entirely, you can add a dash before it—like good boy –sucks 
    • Exclude Keywords in the Search: use – (minus) before the excl word, 
    • Include and exclude keywords: + for include, - exclude
  • Use an asterisk within quotes to specify unknown or variable words: (e.g. “* is thicker than water”)
  • Search websites for keywords: “Google site:TIME.com”

  • Tilt your screen by searching “tilt.”
  • Play Atari Breakout by searching it on Google Images.
  • Press the mic icon on Google’s search bar, and say < search word>
  • Search for Keywords with Similar Meaning. Include Synonym Keywords in Search: using ~ 
  • Mathematical Calculations using Google: sqrt(10)
  • Unit Conversion using Google: kg in pound  or USD in INR
  • Identify Local Time for Any City in the World using Google: Syntax: time in PLACE

You can plan to visit all days but majority of pooja's and visitors prefer Sunday and Tuesday. Location : Boyakonda is located near Chowdepally (6 kms), on the way to Madanapalli (15 kms) and 12 kms from Punganur.
