Google is the leading information search engine in the virtual world and can find answers to almost all of your questions. However, just being very useful is not enough to be a tool with so much access, and the company itself seems not to be satisfied with that and does not stop creating.
For this reason, various Google search features continue to emerge and surprise users. Check out four of these different functions below!

Curious Google Searches
- Do a barrel roll
For fans of Nintendo games, or the Star Fox series in particular, Google has prepared a small game to entertain gamers. In a space adventure game, a character named Peppy tells his companions to do a move called a “barrel roll” (barrel roll, in free translation) to avoid enemies.
The movement became so famous in the 1990s that the term “Do a barrel roll” dominated the internet. So if you Google that phrase, the search page will mimic the pilot's movements and start spinning on your computer screen.
- image search
Google has one of the most useful and interesting tools ever: reverse image search. To do this, just click on the “Image” shortcut in the upper right corner of the search page.
This will take you to another page where you can select photos saved on your computer and search for them. To improve search efficiency, you can also use keywords associated with these photos.
- play pac man
Since Google made a doodle honoring the game Pac-Man in 2010, the search engine has gained a secret feature that allows anyone to play this classic at any time. For that, all you need to do is type “pac-man” in the search field.
In this situation, a simplified version of the game will open on the page, and you can start playing. Use the arrow keys to control the character. Your objective in the game is to eat all the fruits and not get caught by ghosts.
- animal sounds
This is not only a fascinating fact, but also an extremely fun idea for early childhood education. All you need to do is type “animal sounds” into the Google search box.
So, right after the search, an option with the player to play the sound along with the image of several animals will be displayed for you to explore. Just click on the appropriate animal to hear the sound they make.
