Soople-easy expert search-
Soople is an early English dialect,
which means 'to soften, make supple'.
a site that softens all the
fantastic advanced functions Google offers.
This site is meant for all those
who are not yet familiar
with all the possibilities of Google and all the
required syntaxes.
For instance, one can specify a search by
one particuliar site or filetype
( word, excel, powerpoint and pdf) or an
imagesearch by size and type.
Furthermore there are many useful tools Google offers;
search in the latest news, look up
definitions or use Google as a phonebook.
And last but not least, the Calculator.
This amazing tool let's you do all kind of
(very advanced) calculations.
Soople has added the unit-converter,
which is based on this calculator,
for the conversion of all the
commmon units/measures (meters<--->yards).
Quite supple, if you ask me.
Have a lot of Google-fun

As a side note, there's been a lot of talk lately about google and
the ethics of their aiding in Chinese censorship.
