Google Search Gimmicks

Google's search engine is undeniably the most well-known search engine in the internet, it already helped countless number of people's researches since the first time it launched. However, have you ever type something in google search but something else other than the search results appear?

If no, here are some google search's gimmicks:

do a barrel roll

---

As you see in this video, if you type "do a barrel roll" in google's search engine, the browser's page will roll 360 degrees. It will roll not only the half page shown on the monitor, but you will also see the remaining half of the search engine getting rolled too!

askew

---

Do you see anything wierd? The page was tilted for a little. This is what "askew" does in google's search engine. Based on the dictionary, askew means "not in a straight or level position".

blink html / <blink>

---

If you type "<blink>" google's search engine, it would make every single "blink" word on the page blinking, whereas if you type "blink html", it will make every "blink" and every "html" word blinking.

zerg rush

---

This gimmick is very interesting, this gimmick is more than just special effects like the other 3 gimmicks explained above, this gimmick is actually a game, if you type "zerg rush" in google's search engine, some zerglinks which is actually "O" letters, and they will eat your search result page, what you need to do here is to prevent all of your search engine from being eaten by the hungry zerglinks, how? You need to click them a few times in order to kill them, this game is an endless game and your score is the amount of the zerglinks that you successfully killed, you can also see your APM (action per minute) and you can click "clear" in order to quit the game and go to the real search result page instead. When all of the result page has been eaten, the zerglinks unite together to create the word GG which means Good Game. Below the GG word that is created by the zerglinks you can click "Share score" to share your zerg rush score.

Those are some of the gimmicks of google search, you can try it whenever you can if you don't believe.
