Search / Use Google like a genius!

By -
Alright, there's no denying the fact that all of us use Google. Well, why not? It's like the whole world on your finger tip! But, there has always been a difference between normal people and geniuses. Geniuses also use Google, just like normal people do. Then what makes them genius anyway?
That lies in the method they use Google. To get more accurate result, in less time, with less hassle.

Here are some amazing tips on how to achieve that:

1. Quotation Marks " "

Use quotes in your search box to find the exact set of words together.
Example: A search for "apples and oranges" will yield result having sentences with words "apples and oranges" like, "I love both apples and oranges".
Otherwise, the result might include words "He had apples and her sister had oranges".
See the difference?

2. Dashes -

Use a dash symbol ( - )  before a word to exclude it from your search results.
Example: If you search for "apple -fruit", it'll exclude all the result having the word "fruit".

3. Tilde ~

You can use a tilde symbol before a word to include results with its synonyms.
Example: ~holiday sports
This search will also bring result for "vacation sports". 

4. site:<query>

Use site: to search within a specified website.
Example: invisible folder site:geeksninja.com
This query will search geeksninja.com for "invisible folder"

5. Double periods ..

Use two periods between two numbers to set a range of date
Example: hollywood movies 2010..2016

6. related:<query>

Use related: to find websites that are related to the specified website
Example: related:geeksninja.com

Now you are a search genius!
Enjoy Googling, and have a nice day! ;)

[FIXED] Code::Blocks error: 'cout' was not declared in this scope

Code::Blocks error: 'cout' was not declared in this scope T his is one of the most common errors you get if you download or create a C++ project on your Code::Blocks IDE and try to compile it using GNU GCC compiler (the default compiler in Code::Blocks). This problem is common with people who've recently moved to Code::Blocks from an older IDE. This happens because Code::Blocks fails to see 'cout' keyword as a local scope unless its defined as a standard directory function. Luckily, there are two simple ways to fix this error: Method 1 Use this statement before your main function: using namespace std; So that your code looks something like: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() {     cout << "Hello world!";     return 0; } Method 2 Instead of using cout , try using std::cout so that the code looks something like: #include <iostream> int main() {     std::cout << "Hello world!"...

  When a message gets delivered to the receiver, you see a double tick. And when they read the message, the double tick becomes blue. However, if the receiver has disabled/turned off 'Read Receipt' option on their WhatsApp settings, you can only see a double tick after sending a message whether they've read it or not. Thus, making it impossible to guess whether they've seen the message or not. Let's make it possible. Today, I'll show you a small trick with the help of which, you'll be able to know whether or not they have read your message. It works 95% of the times. Steps: First of all, type and send your desired message. Here, I'm using a Windows Phone to illustrate it, it works the same way on Android and iOS devices. Record a 3-4 seconds audio and send it after sending the messages. Next, when they see your messages, there's a high chance that they'll play your recorded audio. As soon as your recording is played, the audio mess...
