Google, the search giant, constantly optimizes its search engine and updates it with new features. After integrating various types of search results like image, video, books, news, etc. Google has unveiled a new feature called 'Search Options'. Users can now 'slice and dice' their search results on various parameters like time.

 

At the Google Labs, software engineers and experts have been working on many new experiments over the search. A new experimental feature called Google Squared that takes information from the web and represents in a spreadsheet within "split seconds" will be rolled out sometime next month. This feature will represent the unstructured web data in a structured format. Check the demo of Google Squared below:

Marissa Mayer, vice president of Search Products and User Experience, noted that normally a processor representing vast web-information into spreadsheet format takes half a day.

 

Google will also introduce new Search Options tool which will help the users to "refine, filter and view (search) results in a different way". In addition to a normal search, users can narrow down to specific categories like reviews, videos, recently added blogs, timelines, images and forum posts. Another feature called 'Rich Snippets' gives users search results with exhaustive information on each listing.

 

Google embraced Celestial search on the Android platform through the Sky Map app now available in the Android market. Sky Map uses global positioning system chip along with the date and time for determining celestial map as per the user's position.

 

Google is believed to have of pulled up its socks after the announcement of the Wolfram Alpha search engine to stay ahead in the search engine race.
