A Google A Day Keeps You Trivia-Ready [Search Techniques]

Just the other day, Google launched a new search game called 'A Google A Day'. This new page has been designed to give you a daily trivia question to complete using a customized Google search built specifically for the game.

The questions become harder as the week progresses, much like the crossword puzzles in many newspapers do, and just like those very crosswords, the results are posted the next day in the NY Times!

This sounds fun and all but one of the biggest spoilers for me (and I am sure for many of you) with crossword puzzles is when someone looms over your shoulder and whispers an answer to you (right?!). This has also been addressed with the new Deja Google search.

The search bar on the A Google A Day website seems the same as any normal Google search bar, however it is indeed very different. With Deja Google search, they have created a search bar that will only show web history from before the game began, and block any social updates you might normally come across. This is all to ensure that you won't run into any tweets or blog posts with the answers. Very cool.
