The New Google
So, I stumbled upon a read that allowed me to view the new google. I have a feeling that its been around a while but, I thought it was interesting to see some of the new search features they are going to include. Im assuming only if this version makes it to final release. I am going to talk about a couple of the features that I like, but first let me show you how to access it.
- Go to Google
- Once you see the Google logo, insert the following code in your URL bar and hit enter
javascript:void(document.cookie=”PREF=ID=20b6e4c2f44943bb:
U=4bf292d46faad806:TM=1249677602:LM=1257919388:S=odm0Ys-53ZueXfZG;path=/; domain=.google.com”);
So now you have accessed the new Google search. Lets do a quick overview.
Basically, it is Google. You still get a sense that you are browsing with the old version. The results basically are the same although there seems to be a difference in the font used to display the results. One cool feature is that you can do a keyword search and then sift through the results based on what you want to see, on the fly.
Most of this stuff was easily accessible through the old version but I think they did a good job in highlighting the different sections to view results. Color coding always makes for a quick identifier.
My favorite feature is that you can sift through your results based on the time it was indexed. It seems as though this may allow you to rank higher than some of the larger sites on some recent search results.
Anyways, I just thought it was cool to tap into this beta version of google and mess around with it. Hope you can do the same, enjoy!
