Just thought I'd let everyone know about the neat thing I learned at google today. Apparently it will spell check your search if it returns very few results.
For instance, I was hunting down some stuff on template classes, and used the word "instatiate," to which google asks "Did you mean to search for instantiate?" I love that.

Anyhow, consider youeselves spammed, and informed.

I don't consider myself spammed.

This was useful information, and thus the antidote to spam.

I consider myself hungry.  It's time for lunch.

You guys also know that if you end your search with

allinurl: (seaches for your stuff only within an ENTIRE url)
inurl: (seaches for your stuff in a specific url)
cache: (seaches only in google's cache)
info:
spell: (a dictionary of sorts)
stocks: (seaches within stock information only)
sites: (searches within a certian number of sites as specified)
allintitle: (searches in the title section of a web page)
intitle: (almost the same as above)
related: (searches for stuff similar to)

It will limit your searches to the cache google has, the link you supply or other such things right?

I like the google IE tool bar.

I don't have to go to google.com to look through google *and* it gives me an approximated page ranking for each page *and* it gives me auto-highlight features for search functions *and* it allows directory browsing *and* it allows for link access all from a tiny toolbar under the URL field in IE.

Very cool. You can pick it up at http://toolbar.google.com/
for free if you don't have it.
