Tips for searching

Santa's list of search tips

Matt from the Google team made a short list of Google Search tips to help Santa gear up for his big flight. Try out the tips and watch the video below!

Get the sunrise of the sleigh's final destination.

Check the time in town before hitting ground.

Check whether the weather will be delightful or frightful.

Research the cookie recipes. (Tip: Click Recipes on the left.)

Quickly find a name on the naughty and nice list.

Type Ctrl+F or ⌘-F (Mac) and use the find bar to locate a specific word or phrase on a document or webpage. Not Google-specific, but still a huge time-saver.

Translate gifts on wish lists...with no hands.

With Google Translate for mobile, you can type or speak words to get translations, quite handy when driving a team of reindeer. (Available on Android and iPhone.)
