Google is the most popular site on the internet. It plays different roles in our daily lives: If you don't know where to it, if you want to know the latest trends in fashion, if you need answers to your assignments, just Google it!

Due to these, Google has now become a powerful tool for finding information anywhere, anytime! Unlike old times where you have to go to the nearest library and consults books, this time, it is easier. With Google, we will now have all the infos we need with just one click. Amazing, right?

Especially to students like me where part of the learning occurs through the cyber world! During this time of technology, our lives just got easier. Thanks to Google.

My personal favorite is the Scholarly Search feature for it allows us to easily navigate though helpful literature in our studies.

Because Google Searching is a serious business.

2. True.
Word order can alter the results of the search. It can also be taken in different context. To be sure, for maximum performance of the search engine, we have to take into consideration the word order.

5. It would take me an estimated 4.2 years to sleep consecutively on each room, excluding the bathrooms, of the Palace if the Light of Faith. I searched in on Google with the key words "room" and "Palace of the Light of Faith".
