Google's Secret Search Engine

The Google company is best known its search engine at google.com. The corporation offers a number of other features, to be sure, but most of them are clearly branded - Google Video, Google Maps, etc. Yesterday it was discovered that the search engine SearchMash is also run by Google.

Nathan Weinberg described it, SearchMash "includes some useful and out there' features that might not be right for Google.com, but could make a really interesting search engine." "Of course," Weinberg continued, "if any of the features turn out to be huge hits, who knows?" He makes a very good point, although some of them don't have any hope of crossing over. One of these is the way in which the SearchMash "image results [are] shown next to regular results." This is "never gonna happen, [because] that's where the ads go on Google.com." murdok. Visit
