It’s Now 'Google Squared'

Google, already the king of internet search, has rolled out an experimental new search product called Google Squared.

Google Squared does not provide a list of links to web pages, like with a traditional Google search, but presents information derived from a query in a spreadsheet-like grid called a square.

Users of google.com/squared can then build, modify and refine their square through further Web searches.

"Unlike a normal search engine, Google Squared doesn't find webpages about your topic - instead, it automatically fetches and organises facts from across the internet," Google said in a preview of the product last month.

Google Squared is experimental and the technology behind it "is by no means perfect".
