Spell check is now available in Docs

Jonathan Adams, (Software Engineering Intern) Say's

Correct spelling is an essential part of document creation and today we woild liek to annnounce that spelll chceking is now available in Google spreadsheets.

To launch the new spell checker, go to Tools > Check spelling. The tool will go through all the cells on your sheet, highlighting each cell which has a misspelled word in red. Words that might be misspelled in each cell are underlined in red and can be changed by clicking on them and selecting the right spelling.

Click Next to go to the next cell and once all the cells on one sheet have been checked, you can continue to the next sheet.

The ability to add words to your own dictionary is also coming. You can learn more about the spell checker here. Let us know what you think in the comments.

Orkut celebrating Mothers Day :)

Sagari Venkata, (orkut operations team) Say's

It's Mother's Day in India today, and the orkut team wants to celebrate it with all moms and the people who love them. Check out the special doodle we've created for this occasion:

If you're looking for a way to show your mom how much you care, there's plenty to do on orkut. Try joining "I Love my Mom" community for starters. Don't forget that you can also send a special Mothers' Day scrap, leave her a video, or upload photos with your best adventures and memories.

Of course, the best present you could give is just spending some quality time with her, but if it's not possible, remember that with orkut your mom is only a voice or video chat away.

Congratulations to all mothers out there – we hope you and your families enjoy this special day!

Quick search Doc's / Site's in Gmail

Bram Moolenaar, (Software Engineer) Say's

Where is that presentation? Was it attached to an email? Or in Google Docs? If you're not sure, you may end up searching several places with the same query in order to find it. With the new "Apps Search" lab, we just made that all a bit simpler.

Once you enable it from the Gmail Labs tab under Settings, the "Search Mail" button in Gmail will say "Search Mail and Docs" instead, and your search results will include matching documents and sites in addition to email messages.


We also added "Did you mean?" style suggestions, for those of us who make mistakes (who doesn't?):


You may notice that mail results show up just as fast as before while non-mail results may take a tiny bit longer. That way, if you're just looking for an email, having this lab enabled won't slow you down.

The paint is still wet and we plan to make further improvements the coming months, so be sure to let us know if you have any feedback.
