Google Squared Search

Google Squared is a search tool that helps you build a collection of facts from the Web for topics that you specify. Facts about your topic are organized as a table of items and attributes (called "Squares"). Of course, you need to create the question that will get the system to display the results that you need. Once the initial squares are generated, you can:

  • Customize these Squares to see just the items and attributes you're interested in (by adding rows and columns to the square)

  • See the websites that served as sources for the information in your Square.
  • Save and share Squares with others

For example, say you're curious about universities in Africa. A normal web search would involve combing through many different webpages to compile the information you're looking for. With Google Squared, all you have to do is type [ African universities ] into the search box at http://www.google.com/squared and click Square it to see an automatically generated table of roller coasters and their attributes. The example here is provided in realtime and you can update rows and columns of the following example search:
