Google’s new Experimental search

So Google’s now unleashing some new ways to search. So far, my favorite is the left-hand search navigation that’s already been popping up in many of my current searches. It’s come in handy the times it has shown up however. I think the feature I’m looking forward to the most is :map. It’d be instantly helpful for many things I end up searching for if I can find them geographically just by appending :map to my search, such as “Boca Raton:map” and up pops a map of my town.

Now, when I’m busy reading Aardvarchaeology, I can pinpoint on a map where Martin is talking about!

  1. Thanks! But I don’t get it: can you at the moment do a map search or are you looking forward to being able to do it?

  2. You’ll be able to do it soon enough in the future, Martin! And it still needs some work as my search for “Gottland” turned up rather short.

  3. Google just amaze me. The google history saver is the bee knees for me. I can leave everything offline and not worry about my house blowing up anymore.

    Thank you Mr Google.
