| New Google Search Engine Features! Overview of this week's e-Newsletter This week I want to review some of Google's new search features just release the past few weeks. Also I've included a sneak peek at our new Easy Content Editor that allows you to
easily edit website content yourself. Do More With Google Search! Now there is more you can do with Google search. Just recently Google release some new features that allow you to make the most of their search engine in ways that really make search productive. So let's go over some of the most key features you should know about. To access most of these new search options click on the "Show options" link you find at the top of your search results, as shown in the picture below. Result Types: Using this option you can make Google only show specific types of results. Currently you can chose from Videos, Forums, Review and all results. By clicking on one of these options you can cater your search to only show you video, forums or reviews. This will make is much easier to find a specific thing you might be looking for.
Search By
Time: Now you can have Google only show you sites, pages or results for a specific date. This can really help if you're looking for a recent or semi-recent news article. Then using the sort feature you can sort the results by time.
Sort By: Using this feature you can sort the retrieved results. This option only show up if you've click on a type of results or time you want the results to be from. Then you'll be able to sort the results by relevance or time or result type.
Images From Website: To see some of the images
of website listed in your results click on the "Images from the page" link. This can really help out in determining if the sites will really have what you're looking for, especially if you're looking for some sort of image related site.
More Text: With this option you can see more text from the web pages listed in the results. Again this greatly helps understand what the page may be about before you go to it, which can help making finding the site you're looking for a breeze.
Find Related Searches: Using this feature
you can see related searches users have searched for which are similar to your search. This is a neat feature as it helps you when you might not know exactly what you should be searching for to find what you're looking for. So just search for what you think it might be found under and then take a look at the related searches to help you zero in on what you're looking for.
Timeline: Now this is really neat, with this feature you can view the amount of searches that have been preformed over time for that give search keyword you're looking at. Then by clicking on the time track you can zero in on a specific year and month.
User Profiles: Google now displays profiles of users that have a Google account when you search for a person's name. So if that person has signed up and created a profile with Google they will now be listed at the bottom of the page in the Profile results.
Edit Your Website Easily! Soon you'll be able to easily control the content on your website. Ever wanted to be able to easily and quickly edit your website? Well the new version of our website editor, which we are calling the Easy Content Editor, will allow you to do just that. The editor uses a simple administrative panel interface that you login into and then you can select which page you want to edit and from there edit the content on the page without having to worry about messing up the design or anything else. You'll be able to simply edit the text and some images on your pages. Then save your changes and they're automatically applied to your website.
It will also feature built in Google Analytics (a website visitor stats program from
Google). So you'll also be able to quickly and easily see how many people came to your website and how many people viewed each one of your web pages.
The Easy Content Editor should be available soon, most likely it will roll out in the next 2 weeks. Stay tuned for updates!
