Google just took realtime search to the next level (Video)

by Terry Crosby on August 26, 2010

Google’s Realtime search just got a whole lot better. It gathers news stories, blog posts and updates from popular social networks and presents them in a constantly refreshing stream. They have added conversation view, location refinements and Google Alerts for updates.

Conversation view will appear when the user clicks the  “Full Conversation” link located under the update. Updates are organized from oldest to newest and are threaded.

Location: Searchers can specify exact locations in the “Custom Location” box to narrow results to a particular city, state or country. Users can also click on the location listed below an update to filter results for that region.

Google Alerts for updates: at the bottom of the results pages, searchers can now click the “Create an e-mail alert for [search term]” to setup a Google Alert for “Updates.”
