'''''Google Hacks: Tips & Tools for Smarter Searching''''' is a book of tips about [[Google]] by [[Tara Calishain]] and [[Rael Dornfest]]. It was listed in the ''[[New York Times]]'' top ten business paperbacks in May 2003,<ref name="nytimes 2003" /><ref name="searchenginewatch sherman 2003" /> which was considered at the time to be "unprecedented" for a technology book, and "even rarer" for the topic of search engines.<ref name="searchenginewatch sherman 2003" /> The book was first published by [[O'Reilly Media|O'Reilly]] in February 2002, with a second edition coming in December 2004 ({{ISBN|0-596-00857-0}}) and a third edition in August 2006 ({{ISBN|0-596-52706-3}}).

It covers tips of all kinds, from usage hints for the novice just using Google, to advice for the expert programming with the [[Google Web API]]. Much of the content provided in the book can also be used for [[Google Hacking]], the act of finding security issues through Google searches. Most programming examples are written in [[Perl]].
