Listen to Songs Right from Google Search Field!

Have you ever wanted to use Google search a bit more effectively? Here are 7 things you can do directly in the Google search field:

1) Perform Calculations: To figure out what 15 percent off that $78 shirt amounts to, just enter "78 x .15" into the search field, click "Search", and the answer will show up at the top of the results page. No clicking on a second link required.
2) Convert Measurements: How many cups equal a liter? Simply type "cups in liter". You can also find out currency conversions ("15 dollars in euros").
3) Track Flights: Find out if your flight is on time by entering your airline and flight number.
4) Locate Packages: Hunt down an MIA delivery by entering "track" plus the tracking number for a direct link to the status page.
5) Look up Addresses: Type in a person's home phone number and, if she is listed, Google will turn up the mailing address.
6) Find Movie Showtimes: Type "movies" plus your city or ZIP code to see theaters and showtimes for the next three days.
7) Listen to Songs: Thanks to a Google partnership with music site lala.com, you can type the title of a song and its artist and a playable file will appear at the top of the results page.
