What is trly.gd?
Trly.gd is a meta-search tool unlike any other. Using easily memorized keywords, you can search
today's most popular websites, shorten URLs, track packages and much more!
How it works
Keywords are simple to use. All you have to do is to add your keyword in front of your search
query. For example, if you want to see the article about the Canary Islands on Wikipedia, the query
would be wiki:canary islands.
What else can it do?
Shorten URLs
With the
shorten keyword, you can generate small URLs to use on Twitter
and in your email. A long URL that links to an article in an online store can be shrunk to a short
and convenient link similar to http://bit.ly/dh3bs. Additionally, other popular URL shortening
services such as TinyURL and Is.gd and is.gd are also supported.
Convert currency
Use the following syntax to convert different currencies:
[cur1]2[cur2]:[amount]. For example, you can 20 US
dollars to Euros using the following query:
usd2eur:20.
Define words, find synonyms
The Trly.gd search box is the most efficient way to quickly define words. Use the
dict and
thes keywords to get comprehensive
definitions from Reference.com. The
webster keyword will return the
definition from the Merriam-Webster dictionary. Slang and uncommon expressions can be defined with
Urban Dictionary using the
udict keyword.
Share websites
Submitting content to Facebook, Twitter and Digg is simple with Trly.gd. The
+facebook,
+twitter and
+digg keywords associated to the URL you wish to share will take you to
the appropriate submission pages.
Write email
The
gmail keyword has multiple functions. You can use it to search your
Gmail messages, but also to compose new mail. The
gmail:new keyword will
create a new email. Typing
gmail:inbox will take you to your inbox.
Track packages
Use the
dhl,
fedex and
ups keywords to rapidly track your packages. More services will be added
in the future.
Take web page screenshots
No need to install any software to take images of complete webpage. The
screenshot keyword uses Kwout's web capture service to save a picture of
your site.
Search in your language
Some websites such as Wikipedia and Google support searching in your language. Add your
two-letter
language code after the keyword to search in other languages. If you want to show the french
Wikipedia article about expresso, you would have to enter
wikifr:expresso.
