Search and organise data using Google Squared

DK — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 11:42:40 +0000

Google Squared is an interesting experiment in Google labs. It allows you to search and organize the data in form of square (i.e tabular format) you can even add/delete a column/row from the square.

Follow the examples for clear understanding

Examples:

To collect informations about various states in India in single page give the query “States in India” (or related) and hit enter.

See how the data are organised in square.

But here a column represents “flower” is not needed. Better it can be replaced with the column “chief minister” also I need to add a row for my state (Tamil Nadu).

After adding a row and column the result will look as follows.

Here are few more examples:

Search query : “linux distros”

Search query : “browsers”

ah Google chrome is not in list !!!

You can try google squared at google.com/squared.
