Google Search Quiz

I’ve created a little search quiz about Google that contains basic and advanced questions. If you are able to at least answer 15 questions correctly you pass the test.

Update: The quiz is no longer available. I have found a similar quiz that you can test your Google knowledge with. Head over to this site to take the new quiz. It lists 24 different multiple choice questions on one page. Each question contains one or multiple links that you can click on for clues and research. While you may be able to answer some questions right away, you may need to run some tests first for others.

The test begins with some easy questions at the beginning, for instance what you see on the Google homepage when you connect to it, or if Google displays different results for different cases in the search terms.

It quickly becomes more difficulty though, and several of the questions require you to do research before you can key in your answer. This includes questions whether Google limits the query size in words, the fastest way to find a phone number or how you can read a web page if it is currently down. If you are an experienced users you may be able to answer half or even more of the questions right away. If you are not that experienced, you need to test and try different answers to see what you come up with.

This again helps you better understand the capabilities of Google Search, which in turn can improve your overall search experience using the search engine.

Once you have selected all of your answers, you are taken to the answers page where you find the correct answers for each question. Answers are however not explained, which may be an issue for some of them.
