Google have nonchalantly introduced a new suite of search refinement tools that will help experts through search novices to find that elusive answer buried in the sea of internet information.

Filters:

  • Content type (Videos forums & reviews)
  • Time (recent, 24 hours past week or year)

Search result views:

  • Time line (results over time)

Search refinement:

  • Related searches (shows related searches to your query)
  • Wonder wheel  (a visual relationship interface)
