(...)imaginem o google offline.:dizzy_face:
Isso nos dias que correm e com a dimensão que a Google tomou, é praticamente impossivel. Eles têm tantos servidores e tanta redundância entre os mesmos, que o dia em que isso acontecer, eu diria que estamos perante o Apocalispe e como tal TODOS os servidores da Google foram destruídos (tal como o resto de todo o planeta)
...ou isso, ou um puto de 18 anos, com oculos fundo de garrafa, enfiado nos confins do seu quarto, 20 horas por dia, faz um ataque à Google e manda tudo abaixo! Hehehe
Deixo aqui umas dicas (algumas com exemplos de uso) que encontrei sobre o "Google Power Search" que não é mais que as pesquisas no Google mas com alguma 'artilharia' para apurar o resultado:
Not: adding a minus (-) allows you to narrow your search, for example if you wanted to search for New York but not City youd enter New York -City
Either/or. Google looks for the combination of terms you type in, but you can tell it to look for multiple words, for example Olympic or Gold. The short cut is | so Olympic | Gold works as well
Specific Document Types use the modifier filetype: if youre looking for documents or pictures, for example blogging filetype

df delivers pdf documents that include the word blogging.
Quotation marks: I use this trick regularly. If youre looking for the exact phrase, not the words entered, do your search like this I did but see her passing by
Wildcard: old DOS users will remember doing directory searches using an asterisk (*) as a wildcard, and Google supports wildcard entries as well. Example: blogging *.com.au
Definitions: stuck on a word you dont understand? in Google, its as simple as define:word to deliver you a list of definitions
Similar terms: ~ in front of a word tells Google to look for similar terms to that word, for example ~blog web 2.0
Site Specific Search: another shortcut I use regularly. To search within a specific site, start the query with site:name.com term. Other rules can be used in the search.
Calculator: who would have thought you could use Google as a calculator. Google supports /*-+ for a result.
Phone Listing: Want to know who your missed call was from? type phonebook:555-555-5555 for the answer. Works primarily in the United States.
Links: want to know who is linking to your blog, or even specific post? enter link:url.com into Google for the answer.
Format specific search: sometimes finding what you want in Google can be difficult, but Google offers a range of format specific search sites. Google News, Blog Search, even Video are a few Google sites you can use to find what youre looking for.
Area Code Lookup: type in the US area code into Google to find out where the area code is.
Movies: Get the latest movie times at your local cinema by typing movie:movie name zip.
Stock Price: enter a valid stock symbol for the latest reported stock price, for example YHOO.
Music: want the details of a song? use music:song name for Music specific search on Google
Metric conversion: convert imperial measurements to metric and back again quickly via the Google search box. For example: 100 lbs in kg
Term location: use inurl:, intitle:, intext:, or inanchor: to tell Google where it should look for the term your looking for.
Cache: Google keeps a comprehensive cache database of many websites, and you can search this database by starting your search with cached
(desculpem estar em inglês mas agora não tenho tempo de traduzir - limitações profissionais a que dão o nome de chefe!)
Como agora está na moda uma expressão: 'Se podia viver sem o Google? Podia...mas não era a mesma coisa!'
