Google is overhauling its search system so it returns “universal” results not just those from webpages. The change means users will also get results from news sites, blogs, video services and other relevant places.
Before now the different categories have been separate which meant searches had to be repeated to pick up all possible results. The expanded results will be available via a series of tabs that will appear on the results page.
Voorbeeld: zoeken op
‘U2′ levert naast de normale webresultaten ook zoekresultaten op in de categorieën muziek, nieuws en video’s.
Google voert nog een andere andere aanpassing door:
As well as the changes to searches, the firm is introducing drop-down lists that let users quickly switch to other Google properties, such as GMail, and search for results there.
By making the move Google is following other search sites such as Amazon’s A9 and Ask which let users navigate quickly to other categories of information or relevant results.
De wijzigingen zijn vooralsnog alleen zichtbaar op Google.com, maar zullen spoedig ook op de verschillende internationale versies worden doorgevoerd.
