Weather in any City

Same goes for determining the current weather in any city. Simply type "weather" followed by the city your interested in.

Unit Converter

A few more search features worthy of a mention are:

Define - Use this keyword to get the definition of a word eg. define laconic

Map - Type in the name of a city followed by the map keyword to show the city's map.

Synonyms - Type the "~" character before your word to also search its synonyms
