From the Official Google Blog comes an update on new functionality for Google search results being tested. There are three new views available when you join the "Alternate views for search results" experiment.
- Map View plots some of the key locations contained in your web results onto a map;
- Timeline view does the same thing as map view, but for dates found on the web; and
- Info view which reveals text containing dates, locations, measurements, or images in the results.
The results returned are the same but the new views may help to identify the most relevant search result for your purpose. I've not tried it yet but intend on joining the experiment.
