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."
That's a current feature of Google search. Don't want results from slashdot.org or any subdomains in your results? include -site:slashdot.org in your query string.
It would be nice if, e.g., Wonder Wheel kept site restrictions (positive or negative) when you used it to pull up a related search.
If you're considering a google plex to be analogous to a googolplex, then your post is wrong. A googolplex is 10^googol, not googol^googol.
Google Code search supports regular expressions, so it's possible with a smaller index at least.
main(c,r){for(r=32;r;) printf(++c>31?c=!r--,"\n":c<r?" ":~c&r?" `":" #");}
Good news! You can easily switch this feature off: In Firefox press Ctrl+Shift+Del, select "Cookies" and click "Clear Private Data Now"
It's a pity that google considers it so - I come across a query every few days that fits along these lines.
I suppose I really just ought to use another search engine for these; cuil, for one gives different results for Error #2005 and Error 2005
Google seems to strip out non-alphanumeric symbols.
This isn't entirely true. net 11 and .net 1.1 return different results.
