Google Search: What can't it do?

I am continually amazed, on this journey toward becoming a connected educator, about what Google is capable of doing.  My most recent growth in love for Google began with the discovery of the following Google Drive tools:
  • Google Drive
    • Word Processing
    • Spreadsheets
    • Presentations
    • Templates
    • Research/Citation Assistance 
    • REFER to my previous post for videos outlining Google Drive
Then, I spent this week exploring Google's search capabilities.  I didn't realize how unaware I truly was about my search options.  Here are just a few that I really like for my classroom.
  • Google Search
    • Unit:  Converts units.
    • Calculator:  Simply type the math problem into the search bar an it will calculate the answer.
    • Dictionary: Type "Define:" and then the word.
If you would like to see them in action, here is a playlist of 15 second Google Search videos that show 17 special search options.
