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."

    Mod parent up, DoublePlus Good. Also, why is it that Kirk's shirts were so flimsy? Any other crew member could be beaten to within an inch of his/her life, and his/her shirt would have barely a speck of dirt or a wrinkle. If Kirk so much as had his face slapped, his shirt was torn down to his out-of-shape waist, and he had a bleeding gash on his hairless chest. I love the show, too, but Shatner was overly- dramatic to the point of nausea. And, by the way, the dumbest scene by far was the one where Kirk & Spock sang "I'm weedle-Dee, he's Tweedle-Dum, closely followed by Spock's "bitter dregs" folk ballad. A double-whammy!

    I remember around year 2000 there was am animated search engine that produced linked "bubbles" , with the diameter representing relevance. I guess it was Teoma (not sure). Anyone else remembers?

    That got replaced by the well-known LOLCAT technology.
