Check out Google's latest ideas

Google is always experimenting with new features aimed at improving the search experience. Take them for a spin.

Timeline and map views







See results on a timeline or map. With the timeline and map views, Google’s technology extracts key dates and locations from select search results so you can view the information in a different dimension. Timeline and map views work best for searches related to people, companies, events and places.

Left-hand search navigation



Search deeper in a particular type of content—patents, products or news, for example. Google searches across all kinds of content, then ranks results by relevance.If you want to see additional results of a particular content type, just click a link in the left-hand search navigation.You can also refine your results by clicking on related search terms.

Get started with one of these queries: ipod, beach, airplanes

Right-hand contextual search navigation




Similar to the left-hand search navigation, right-hand contextual search navigation allows you to search deeper in a particular type of content or to search related terms—but from the right side of the page.

Get started with one of these queries: downtown los angeles, python, dancing
