Google Gets Trendy With Search Results

By Michelle Megna
October 6, 2009

Google has just rolled out a host of new features, including the addition of trends and forum posts in search results and a revamped local search and desktop sync for mobile.

One of the new additions is a feature that makes it easier for searchers to find forum posts or related discussions. The idea is to help users navigate sites that tend to have a large number of posts on a specific topic.

"When several different discussions on a site are relevant to your query, we indent them under the primary result and include the date of each post," writes Johanna Wright, Google director of product management, in a blog post. "So for instance, if you search for 'getting from rome to florence' you will see, below the third result, a list of relevant discussions on various ways to get between these cities."

Google's goal is to provide users with a "deeper view into the relevant content available on sites throughout the Web - even when that content spans multiple pages or discussions."
