Technology Review reports on A New Perspective on Search Results:
"Those who sign up are able to switch between different views, so instead of simply getting a list of links (and sometimes pictures and YouTube videos, a relatively recent addition to the Google results), they can choose to see their results mapped, put on a timeline, or narrowed down by informational filters. Dan Crow, product manager at Google, says that the results of the experiment could eventually help the company improve everyone's search experience."
Signing up is easy. You just go here and click on which view you'd like to try. And you can get out of the experimental mode from the same page.
I tried out the Timeline View for homeschool. There may be a few bugs to still work out. Google claims there was a lot of references to homeschooling earlier this year. Has anyone noticed a dramatic increase in posts about homeschooling in January?
I also tried the Keyword Option for homeschool and noticed they added the term "homeschool" so the keyword option seems a bit helpful.
