The toman diaries

Oh, google

Sullivan asked, "What do you think remains largely unknown about Google?" Brin answered, "The tilde operator," a new search command that enables users to search not only for a particular keyword, but also for its synonyms. This is accomplished by placing a ~ character directly in front of the keyword in the search box.

Try it yourself: ~Audio, ~Bicycle, ~Lady, ~Freud, ~W3C.

Seems to me like it is a Related pages search, applied to words. Very useful anyway, thanks again Google.
