Google’s Secret Search Bar Apps — Timers, Games, Music Tools & More
One-Line Flow: Type weird shit into Google → your screen dances, games spawn, hidden tools appear → productivity dies, joy lives.
What the Hell Is This?
Google shoved an entire arcade, toolkit, and fever dream into a search bar. You type “67” and your screen starts twerking. No app. No sign-in. No one asked for this. They just… did it anyway.
NEW: The “67” Easter Egg Everyone’s Losing Their Shit Over
Search 67 or 6-7 or Six Seven. Your entire results page bounces like it’s at a club.
This dropped December 2025, referencing Skrilla’s “Doot Doot (6-7)” TikTok hand gesture and LaMelo Ball (who’s 6’7"). Dictionary.com named “67” their Word of the Year. In-N-Out literally removed the number from their menu because customers kept going viral.
Google saw internet chaos and said “let’s add fuel.”
December 2025 Drops You Missed
John Cena — Click the green hand icon. He does the “You Can’t See Me” gesture. Then your entire page vanishes. WWE retirement tribute energy.
Ozzy Osbourne — Scrolling memorial text with rock horns emoji. RIP to the Prince of Darkness (July 2025).
Benjamin Evan Ainsworth — Shows “KYAAAA! HYAAAAA!” because this kid got cast as Link in Nintendo’s Zelda movie. Google is unhinged.
Hollow Knight Silksong — After 8 years of waiting, the game dropped September 2025. Search it and Hornet’s Needle slashes through your results.

Power Search Operators — How Professionals Google
Most people search like cavemen. Here’s how to actually find shit:
Time filters via URL: Add &tbs=qdr:h9 to any Google URL = results from last 9 hours. Any number works.
Disable personalization: Add &pws=0 = no personalized bubble. See what everyone else sees.
Stop spell correction: Add &nfpr=1 = Google stops “fixing” your searches.
True verbatim: Add &tbs=li:1 = no stemming, no synonyms, exactly what you typed.
Show hidden results: Add &filter=0 = results Google normally hides as “too similar.”
Proximity search: climate AROUND(3) crisis = only pages where these words appear within 3 words of each other. Game changer.
Find how sites describe others: inanchor: searches the clickable text of links pointing to pages. SEO gold.
Standard operators:
"exact phrase"— forces exact matchsite:reddit.com— only that domain-excluded— removes garbage (jaguar -car)filetype:pdf— only that formatext:— undocumented alias for filetype
Dead operators (RIP):
info:— died 2017link:— officially confirmed dead by Google’s Gary Illyesdaterange:— barely functional~(tilde for synonyms) — unreliable now

fun facts / i'm feeling curious — Random trivia you didn’t know you needed.
what sound does a [animal] make — Wholesome chaos.
periodic table — Interactive clickable chemistry.
Why Some Tricks Don’t Work For You
- Use English (US) — Some only trigger in American English
- Try Incognito — Personalization sometimes blocks Easter eggs
- Check your browser — Chrome works best (shocking, Google optimizes for Google)
- Corporate Wi-Fi blocks games — Capitalism hates fun
- It might be dead — Google removes things constantly without warning
How These Actually Work (Nerd Corner)
For the curious:
“Do a barrel roll” uses CSS3: animation: roll 4s linear; with transform: rotate(360deg) on the body element.
“Askew” applies a 12-degree skew transformation.
“Zerg Rush” combined JavaScript collision detection with DOM manipulation to remove results when “destroyed.”
Google’s NLP engine recognizes trigger queries server-side, then includes JavaScript flags that trigger client-side CSS animations.
Why Chrome works best: Blink engine is literally optimized for Google’s code.
