Google Launches Search Options, Declares Real-Time Search Biggest Challenge

Source: TechCrunch

May 12, 2009

Summary

Google has just launched a new “search options” feature on its main search page. When you click on “Search options” you can filter your search by different types of results (videos, forums, and reviews), by time (recent, past 24 hours, past week, past year), as well as seeing related searches, a “wonder wheel” view, or a timeline view.

At Google’s Searchology event, which is going on right now, Marissa Mayer listed the following as the hardest unsolved problems in search:

- Finding the most recent information

- Expressing that you want just one type of result

- Assessing which results are best

- Knowing what you’re looking for

- Expressing your searches in keywords

Notice that real-time search is the No. 1 problem.
