Advanced Google

Here is a little feature on Google that I have been using lately: the advanced searching feature that allows you to search by file type. Here is how it works: (1) go to Google; (2) click on the “advanced search” text to the right of the search box (takes you here); (3) look down the left column and you will see “file format” and then over to the right there is a drop down box and you can specify PDF; PowerPoint; Word etc. For my law practice this has been useful to find forms, presentations and marketing materials and also summaries of how the law works. In the case of marketing materials, while I don’t steel other peoples work, I do find it helpful to see how others have organized and/or described their particular area of law.
