Google hints I learned today

Date range:
Add &as_qdr=m3 for 3 months
http://www.google.com/search?q=photoshop&as_qdr=m3

Daterange finds files based on when they were indexed using the Julian calendar

Filetype filters:
filetype:blah (such as filetype:pdf)

To get dictionary/wikipedia type answers:
define:word
or for more context
definition word

Operators:
| means OR
(picasa OR photoshop) site:gov

~ means synonyms
site:edu
inurl:wharton.upenn.edu

Alternate sites:
