Greetings, lazy typers and typerettes. Here are a few hints you can use to type lazily using the Internet’s most powerful search engine:

1. Go to [www.gogle.com](http://www.gogle.com). It will take you to the same place.
2. When entering a search query in quotations, you only need to provide the first quotation mark.
3. You can misspell things, and Google will offer corrections for you.
4. It is often easier to go to Google, type in the title of the page you are looking for, and hit “I’m Feeling Lucky” than it is to type the address in.
5. I’m too lazy to think of anything else. Hope this helps.

Well, I didn’t know about the one quotation mark business. Thanks, **Palve**!

On a semi-unrelated note, I just found a really cool [Googlewhack](http://www.googlewhack.com): “genocidal hilariousness”.

If you set it up right, you can just type your query into the address bar. Or get the google toolbar. I heard that the toolbar has some kind of problems in windows, but it seems to work pretty well on my Windows 2000.

My Google toolbar has valentines hearts on it. Most unexpected. Kind of cool and a bit doubtful at the same time.
