The Google Experiments

Posted by reviews on Apr 16, 2008

Google keeps coming up with new features and you can check them out on their Google Labs area.

The latest features include:

Alternate views for search results - You can do a variety of search types including a timeline, map, or in context of other information types.

With these views, Google’s technology extracts key dates, locations, measurements, and more from select search results so you can view the information in a different dimension.

Timeline and map views work best for searches related to people, companies, events and places. Info view shows all the data found for each result, to help you select the best choice.

Keyword suggestions - You can view different keywords to improve your search results. As you type your search, Google’s technology will provide alternative suggestions to your queries in real time. *This could be helpful in coming up with good keywords for SEO as well!

Keyboard shortcuts - Navigate search results quickly and easily, minimizing use of your mouse. Current keyboard shortcuts include:

Key Action
J - Selects the next result.
K - Selects the previous result.
O - Opens the selected result.
/ - Puts the cursor in the search box.

    It’s always fun to check to see what Google has in the oven. It’s strange to think that Gmail is still technically in beta testing, or at least that’s what I read somewhere :)

    I never used Google labs before because I think Google algorithm is improving in a very low pace. Since 2 years ago I think I have heard many things about more suggestions like this but I don’t see any drastic changes so far.
