Besides it providing easy access to billions of web pages, it has some less-known features that are incredibly useful and yet not all that widely used. Some of them are listing below.

View Definitions and Synonyms:

Google search has also a built-in dictionary. Type ‘Define’ followed by a word to look up and Google will tell you what it means and how to pronounce it. You can also listen to it being spoken. The dictionary results now show you synonyms for the word, which saves you having to search for a thesaurus.

Above lists are only a few. Google has many other special features to help you to find exactly what you’re looking for. See some of them here. (Thanks DevRK)
