Is you primary platform Microsoft based? Do you work with Microsoft products most of the time? Are most of your Google Searches Microsoft products based? Well then, this url www.google.com/microsoft should be your first stop, instead of the regular www.google.com. Initially I thought it was a joke. Especially with the Google logo sitting snugly on the Windows XP background. But a quick search for Hello World brought me hello world occurences only from the Microsoft world! Neat, pretty neat!

I set about to unearth the other such topic based searches that google supported (yes, thats what they are called “Topic-Specific Searches.”

And, these are some of the topics available:

1. Local – Find local businesses and services on the web.

2. http://www.google.com/mac.html – All things mac

3. http://www.google.com/bsd – about BSD Unix

4. http://www.google.com/linux – all Linux pages

5. http://www.google.com/microsoft.html – Search Microsoft-related pages

6. http://www.google.com/unclesam – U.S. Government ( .gov and .mil sites)
