Unlock Hidden Secrets and Uncover Forgotten Gems: How to Search in Google for a Specific Time Frame

Can you go back in time?

You can when you search Google and set a specific time frame.

Google is a powerful search engine that can help you find information on almost any topic. 

But sometimes, you may want to narrow down your search results to a specific time frame, such as the past hour, day, week, month, year, or a custom range. 

This can be useful for finding the date-specific news, trends, updates, or events related to your query.

The easiest way to search in Google for a specific time frame is to use the Tools menu that appears below the search box after you enter your query. 

Here are the steps to follow:

• Enter your query in the Google search box and press Enter or click the search icon.
• Below the search box, you will see a menu with options such as All, Images, Videos, News, etc. Click on the option that matches the type of results you want to see.
• Next to the option you selected, you will see another menu "Tools" with options such as Any time, All results.

Tool button for Time Searches

• Click on the Any time option to open a drop-down menu with different time frames.
• Select the time frame that suits your needs, such as Past hour, Past 24 hours, Past week, Past month, Past year, or Custom range. If you choose Custom range, you will be able to enter the start and end dates for your search.

Custom Date Range for Searches

• Google will refresh the results and show you only the ones that match your selected time frame. 
• You can also sort the results by relevance or date by clicking on the Sort by option next to the Any time option.

Searching in Google for a specific time frame can help you find more relevant and timely information for your query. 

Google Time Search News for Apple Watch - April 24 2015

In this example, searching Google News for the Apple Watch on April 24, 2015 returns results for the day the watch was announced.

Try it out and see how it can improve your Google search experience.

And with this Cool Tip Gmail feature, you can.

Managing your email inbox can be a daunting task, especially when you have to sort through dozens, if not hundreds of emails every day.

• Find the email that you want to snooze.
• Hover over the far-right side of the subject line for the email in the Index.

• Click on the snooze button, which looks like a clock icon, located at the right of the subject line. .
• Choose when you want to snooze the email by selecting one of the preset options such as "Tomorrow," "This weekend," "Next week," or "Pick date & time."
• If you choose the "Pick date & time" option, select the date and time when you want the email to reappear in your inbox.
• Click on "Save" to confirm.

Once you snooze an email, it will disappear from your inbox and be archived. 

However, it will reappear in your inbox at the time you specified.

You can also find the Snooze clock at the top of an email when you open it.

Using Gmail's snooze feature can help you stay organized and reduce email overload. 

By snoozing emails to a later time or date, you can reduce clutter, prioritize emails, avoid forgetting important messages, and stay focused on the task at hand. 

So, if you haven't tried this feature yet, give it a go and see how it can help you stay on top of your inbox.

How to Check Which Apps are Draining Battery on iPhone

Have you ever noticed when your iPhone battery drains faster than usual? 

If so, there's a high chance that some apps running in the background are the culprit. 

Here's the Cool Tip:

• Check which apps are draining battery on your iPhone.

Here's how to check which iPhone apps are draining your batter:

• Open Settings
•  Tap on Battery
• Check Battery Usage
• Review the list of apps and the percentage of battery they've consumed in the last 24 hours or last 10 days. 
• The list is arranged from the app that consumed the most battery to the one that consumed the least.
• Identify Battery Hogging Apps
• When you see an app that you rarely use or don't need, you may want to consider uninstalling it or limiting its background activity to save battery life.

• Check Background Activity
• Tap on any app in the list to see more details about its battery usage. This will show you the time the app spent on screen and the time it spent in the background.

Based on the battery usage details, you can decide whether to uninstall or limit the background activity of an app:

• Go to the Settings app, scroll down to the app you want to limit, tap on it, and turn off the Background App Refresh option.

That's it.
