The search expert Google has announced the release of several new features and tools for search. It is called Google Squared which is an advanced application based on Google search that give search results in a spreadsheet form. Google squared does not return your typical set of search results. Instead, it finds facts from web pages and then organizes them into a tabular format. You can add new rows and columns and also save results to your Google account.

It is still in very starting phase so there are few bugs in Google squared. It will not give you correct information in all column sometimes but if the structured data is the future of search then Google squared could be very useful for the future of search.

Obviously Google is exploring some ways to improve the search by making it easier to find, organize and refine the search results and thus make them more relevant to user needs. Experimenting with new search features and sees if it improves your search practice.
