New! Join an experiment and you'll see that feature whenever you do a Google search. Note that you can only join ONE experiment at a time.


Alternate views for search results

See results on a timeline, map, or in context of other information types. With these views, Google's technology extracts key dates, locations, measurements, and more from select search results so you can view the information in a different dimension.

Timeline and map views work best for searches related to people, companies, events and places. Info view shows all the data found for each result, to help you select the best choice.
