Google Unveils Search Options and Google Squared
Saying that its users are becoming increasingly sophisticated, Google has unveiled a list of new search technologies geared to help users ’slice and dice’ their Google search results, along with a new tool to help them cull information instead of Web pages.
Marissa Mayer, vice president of Google’s Search Products, said of Search Options in a blog post, ‘We have spent a lot of time looking at how we can better understand the wide range of information that’s on the Web and quickly connect people to just the nuggets they need at that moment.’ Google Squared, set to be released to users as part of its Google Labs program later this month, pulls up information from different sites and presents it in an organized manner.
