Did you know Google is an excellent ‘site search’ tool?

Posted on June 7, 2024

You’ve probably noticed that the built-in search tools on most websites often do a horrible job at helping you find the exact content you’re looking for on those sites.

For example, if you make even the slightest of a misspelling of a single word in your search term, the search will usually come up empty.

What’s more, most site search tools won’t suggest posts/pages from the site that are closely related to, but slightly different from the actual search term.

Google excels in situations like those, and that’s why I almost always use Google instead of a website’s native search tool.

It happens to me fairly often, and I’ve discovered a way to quickly determine the sender’s identity in at least some of those cases.

All you need to do is check to see if the sender of an anonymous email used that same email address to open a Facebook account. Just follow the instructions below for the device you’re using.  [Read more…]

Q&A: Can I delete Gmail without deleting my entire Google account?

Posted on February 16, 2024

Question from Jennifer:  I read somewhere (I think it might have been on your blog) that it’s best to close unused email accounts to prevent hackers from taking them over and using them to spread spam.

I have a Gmail email address that I rarely use and I’d like to delete it. The thing is I do use a couple of other Googly things so I need to keep my Google account open.

Is it possible to close just the Gmail and keep the Google account open?  [Read more…]
