Google today unveiled its "uber search" which allows you to search for text, images, news etc. together. This is the result of unifying various search engines that Google developed for web, images, news etc. PCWorld has an article describing the new universal interface. Google's main page and the results page are also sporting a polished look with a top menu bar sporting various search items. From CNET news,
"Now with universal search we can provide a more holistic answer," Marissa Mayer, Google's vice president of search products and user experience, said during a "Searchology" media event at the company's Mountain View, Calif., headquarters.
To illustrate further, Mayer searched for the classic black-and-white horror film Nosferatu. The first result was a link to a popular film site, IMDB, and the second was a link to the actual movie, which can be played on the page in a window. A search for "I have a dream" will display results related to Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous civil rights speech, as well as to a video of the speech. The results also will include video from other sources such as video-sharing site Metacafe.
