Google Gets Enhanced Search Options, Wonder Wheel Included

Posted by Bradley under Internets, Technology

Google just added new search options that let you drill down your search results by:

• Videos
• Forums
• Reviews
• Recent results
• Past 24 hours
• Past week
• Past year
• Images from the page
• More text
• Related searches
• Wonder wheel
• Timeline

Including the new interactive Wonder Wheel which is really fun way to visualize your search results as seen here:

Just search as usual and then click “Show Options” on the results page:

Viola!

You’re a search superstar.

Posted by Bradley under Technology

Google broke about an hour ago and was returning “This site may harm your computer” on every search result.

It’s fixed now but I managed to capture a funny side effect!

Google To Let You Tinker With Your Search Results

Posted by Bradley under Technology

Apparently (as a test) every 50-200 or so searches on Google with let you vote, remove and comment on your search results.

Reminds me of Digg.

Could this be the future of search?
