Whether giant cells exist in the convection zone of the sun, and what their properties might be, are matters of great importance for the understanding of the dynamics of the solar interior. So far, such cells have escaped detection, probably because of the small amplitude of their associated velocity fields and the large amplitudes of shorter-lived flows. Techniques for improving the detectability of giant cells are presented. These methods are based on the spatial extent and symmetry properties of giant cells as seen in self-consistent dynamical models of the solar convection zone. Simulations suggest that these techniques allow detection of giant cells with photospheric rms velocities of 2 m/s (0.4 m/s per longitudinal wavenumber), given observations spanning about one year.
