Today is Google overload day, because first we had Google Goggles and Google Maps’s brand new version that appear on the Android Market and now we are having real-time search results from the world’s most popular search engine. During a special event at the Computer History Museum today, Google revealed all these programs.
Users can now see live results from Twitter, blogs, Facebook, and a host of other sources while performing a search. This feature just went live today and it is still being rolled out to Google accounts. This new search is also known to be available on Android and iPhone.
From the Official Google Blog:
Our real-time search features are based on more than a dozen new search technologies that enable us to monitor more than a billion documents and process hundreds of millions of real-time changes each day. Of course, none of this would be possible without the support of our new partners that we’re announcing today: Facebook, MySpace, FriendFeed, Jaiku and Identi.ca — along with Twitter, which we announced a few weeks ago.
Click on “Latest results” or select “Latest” from the search options menu to view a full page of live tweets, blogs, news and other web content scrolling right on Google. You can also filter your results to see only “Updates” from micro-blogs like Twitter, FriendFeed, Jaiku and others. Latest results and the new search options are also designed for iPhone and Android devices when you need them on the go, be it a quick glance at changing information like ski conditions or opening night chatter about a new movie — right when you’re in line to buy tickets.
