Google Squared Launched- Search Results in Spreadsheet format



Google has launched this product with heights of hope and pride. The structured search results are no dream any more - thats the claim.. This comes as a big boom for those professional who are in research and who spend so much of time in structuring the result in putting it in spreadsheet. This is no simple a task, even technically this to me has a major step forward that would allow other people to follow a structured reporting. This product was announced in searchology 2009 and now it has smelled its first LIVE air. even though this is in beta stage, its a workable model. This engine has to be given few inputs that would allow it to be squared when result appears





Put your hands yourselves and see how this renders in spreadsheet format. Now your search results can take a completely different form, so you can remove content, add suggested columns of your own, and even save your squares for future access. The cool thing about Google Squared is that columns are dynamic, so they mesh with the content displayed in the squared results. Cell content is also customizable, so clicking on a cell will let you search for other possible values and display a confidence level (eg. low confidence). We’re also big fans of the fact that you can save your Squares, a small but important feature that could turn this into a quick and powerful utility for research.

Feel the Pressure - Google has to think this now, as the release of Bing and probably Google Squared not matching to the standards of Wolfram Alpha, google is now under pressure to innovate and get to the next level to keep up its place. The world is also closely watching Google Wave launch too.

Check the url http://mashable.com/2009/05/19/wolfram-alpha-better-than-google/ which says how Wolfram Alpha does better than Google Squared.

And put your hands in the new squared arena from Google - www.google.com/squared
