Google Unveils Search Options and Google Squared
CWmike writes "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."
No thanks; wake me up when they come out with the "Google n*log(n)" version.
Paleotechnologist and connoisseur of pretty shiny things.
Google is just giving us an easier way to find pr0n on the tubes.
Is setting my "safe search" to off and will see you in the morning.
Ah but you see, you're free to put it in the robots.txt if you don't want information pulled straight out of your site without people visiting. Of course that will remove it from the Google index and result in a massive descrease in traffic as the vast majority of people only use google for searching...
Google, abuse a dominant market position? But their moto is "do no evil"! They would never do something like that!
...(perl-style) regular expressions? Or at least allowing to search for non-alphanumeric characters?
Their search interface is a huge step backward from what old engines like HotBot offered.
Any sufficiently advanced intelligence is indistinguishable from stupidity.
Or does the image of Johnny 5 from the movie Short Circuit come to mind when thinking of Google?
