Google Launches Google Print

Posted by samzenpus on from the even-more-searching dept.

Rescate writes "As reported by Reuters,Google is launching Google Print, which will show book excerpts next to regular Google search results. A spokesman said, "We're trying to index every book there is, and make it searchable for our users." Even though this competes with Amazon's A9 search which also searches within books, Google says the two companies will continue to work together, and that Google Print will link to Amazon, as well as other sellers, to buy books listed in the search results. Google will demonstrate the technology Thursday, Oct. 7 at the Frankfurt Book Fair."

    But for anyone doing more than storing recipes, you need a proper desktop search engine, or even just an email search engine.

    And of course, your endorsement of aforementioned products would not have anything to do with being the CEO of the company that makes them, right?
