Using Gmail is like an addiction now a days. There are emails to be read, answered and sometimes chat with friends and fellow bloggers, thanks to gtalk being available directly from Gmail. You might have heard of Web Search in Gmail, which is a feature still in Gmail Labs. But now there are some changes which allows the Gmail user to not just look up search results but also use it for a variety of reasons.

I used it to define words I was using while composing a message and I can even look up the weather. I guess lesser the number of tabs open, better it is for not being distracted from the task you are doing.

Google Search with Gmail

When on Gmail, go to Settings and Labs. In the Labs section enable Google Search with Mail.
Now below the Gtalk box to the left had side you will now get a Google Search box.
This is nothing new but now you can use different operators within the search tab. Operators like define and weather.
I looked up the weather for Pune where Devil’s Workshop has it’s office. (rtBlogs Office) The results showed up withing my Gmail page and if I used two or three search queries they were saved in the Google Search box for me to look up at a later time. See image below for example.

search_gmail

As you can see in the image above that I could use search and get the weather for the next week for Pune city within my Gmail page. I tried using Google Maps but the results were not as useful as with weather or define.

A note of caution if you have enabled Offline Gmail it can take upto 10 mins for the Google web search to be integrated with your Gmail.

Let me know what you find interesting or useful but trying feature within labs. I think I will be writing many email with fewer spelling or contextual mistakes.

The all new Google Doodle

Posted: 03 Feb 2010 12:20 AM PST

Norman Rockwell’s birthday, the 3rd February is being celebrated by Google in their own way with an all new Google Doodle which is actually designed with Norman Rockwell’s painting.

Norman Rockwell Google Doodle

Many of you must have noticed the Google Search Engine homepage today. I also saw the same and rolled over the mouse on the Doodle and came to know of the mystery behind, with a tool-tip saying “Norman Rockwell’s Birthday – © 1926 SEPS by Curtis Publishing“. I clicked on it and was taken to the search for the web-pages having all the information about Norman Rockwell.

Norman Rockwell was born February 3rd 1894 and died November 8th 1978. He is famous as a renowned 20th century American painter and artist.

Rockwell had his first breakthrough in art in 1912 when he was 18-years-old and from that point on, he never looked back.

As given on Wikipedia:

In 1913, the nineteen-year old Rockwell became the art editor for Boys’ Life, published by the Boy Scouts of America, a post he held for three years (1913–1916).[2] As part of that position, he painted several covers, beginning with his first published magazine cover, Scout at Ship’s Wheel, appearing on the Boys’ Life September 1913 edition.

The Norman Rockwell Museum is still open year round in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.

He died at age 84 of emphysema on November 8 1978 in Stockbridge.
