If you choose the tweet option, the extension will pull up another window directly to twitter and give you a couple of option. First, you can tweet the direct link to the page, or you can “style” it. The style option enables you to create a display of the highlighted text, with a colored background and multiple font options.

If you choose the file option, the same window will open up, presenting the same earlier option, but will automatically scroll down to the filing option. This will file the web page link under your quotes on the pull quote app page. It will also give you the chance to add tags to the link.

If you choose the copy option, the link and quote will be copied to your clipboard, enabling you to paste the quote into another document, presentation, etc.

If you choose the link option, the link to the specific webpage will be copied to your clipboard, enabling you to paste solely the link into whatever you choose.

Google search tools are useful for finding what you want fast. They are helpful for research projects… and not research projects. So here are a few of the most useful tools for Googling.

-Quotation search

The quotation search allows for you to search for specific words and/or phrases. The simple trick is to put quotations around the exact phrase that you want. For example, if you are researching Salem witch trials, then you don’t want other witch trials so you put quotations around “Salem witch trials,” Then google will find that phrase in websites 

–Plus searches

Let’s say you want extra information about the subject, let’s say you want to understand how the conception of Satan affected the which trials, you can type Witch Trials +Satan and it finds which trials were affected.

–Beam Me Up, Scotty
