Squaring up your Internet searches
Google Squared does not provide a list of links to Web pages like a traditional Google search does, but presents information derived from a query in a spreadsheet-like grid called a “square”.
Users of google.com/squared can then build, modify and refine their “square” through further Web searches.
“Unlike a normal search engine, Google Squared doesn’t find webpages about your topic, instead, it automatically fetches and organises facts from across the Internet.
“It essentially searches the Web to find the types of facts you might be interested in, extracts them and presents them in a meaningful way,” Google said.
Google Squared remains experimental and the technology behind it “is by no means perfect”.
